About

I am a 55 year old father of three, who has loved sports since I was a young child. Living in Louisville I have been blessed with the Louisville Cardinals, the Kentucky Derby, and some pretty decent AAA Baseball.
In High School I loved to write, but that passion faded as I started a family in my 20s. Now that I have reached the Second Half of my life, I have tried to rekindle that passion, and put my thoughts into blogs and articles about my Cardinals and other happenings in the world of sports. I hope you enjoy reading my thoughts, and would appreciate all the feedback you can give, good or bad.
