dave's Bio

A graduate of Kansas State University, I enjoy writing and talking about sports. I live in the Kansas City area and have season tickets to both the Royals and the Kansas Speedway. Basball and NASCAR are my passions and I'm an MLB fantasy guru. You can reach me at sportschatplace.com where I am Site Coordinator and Senior Writer.
