About

Grew up in a middle-class suburb of Cincinnati and began loving sports as just a little kid. I have been involved in sports ever since. In high school I was varsity in 5 sports: track, basketball, football, and excelled in baseball and soccer. I went on to play on Cincinnati State's first baseball team. Then after my progression in baseball stopped I decided to give soccer a go. I ended up playing four years of college soccer as a goalkeeper at Cincinnati State and Thomas More College.

Although soccer was my best sport I always enjoyed baseball the best; I enjoy the chess match between coaches, as well as pitcher and hitter. The suicide squeeze is easily my favorite play in all of sports. (Where did the bunt go in baseball?)

I am a complete homer in my fanhood. If there is a team that has a home in the Cincinnati area I cheer for em.

Reds, Bengals, Bearcats, Xavier, Cyclones, Cincinnati State, Thomas More, Mt. St Joe, and we'll even give Miami a cheer occasionally. Go Cincinnati! and by the way screw the Buckeyes.
