About

My name is Kevin Markum. I was born and raised in Tennessee and now live near Huntsville, Alabama. I have a beautiful wife named Karen whom I don't know what I would do without. I earned my A.A. from Florida College in 2007 and my B.S. in Liberal Studies with a focus in Business Administration from Middle Tennessee State University in 2008. I recently completed my MBA at the University of North Alabama.

I work as a financial services officer for a local college in the area. I follow most major sports including baseball, football, basketball, and golf. My goals are to one day be a sports writer for a major sporting news website.

I have been a Braves fan since birth, but have since then taken on the Rays as my second team. I am also a huge Tennessee Titans fan. Since moving to the great state of Alabama, I love my Crimson Tide football. All in all, I'm just a big sports fan. I hope you guys enjoy my stuff. Please feel free to leave me some comments.
