I experienced my enculturation into sports in northeast Ohio during the late 1990's. That tells you pretty much everything you need to know. I graduated from Dickinson College and Western Reserve Academy. When I'm not telling Browns and Indians fans they're terrible people, I sell software and particularly enjoy reading the works of Terry Pluto and Michael Lewis. I live in Cambridge, MA with a pretty girl named Carey.
