About

I live sports and have done so for all of my life. I grew up playing soccer, football, baseball, basketball, track, and hockey.

I've been an athlete on all levels from youth AAU to semi-pro football. This is definitely a passion of mine or an obsession, if you will.

I was a featured columnist on the now defunct www.fantasybrains.com, providing weekly NFL anaylysis and addressing Fantasy Football updates, opinions, and breaking news.

I grew up in South Eastern Pennsylvania (Media, PA, Delaware County, baby!) and moved to Northern New Jersey (Bergen County) for a change of scenery.

I'm a Banker by day, and a Writer and Sports Junkie by night.

I went to College @ Western Maryland (I played Football, ran Track, played Basketball, and 1 season of Tennis...YEAH, TENNIS.)

I look forward to hearing from you guys and gals and thank you for welcoming me aboard.

    No problem Johnny! It is definitely good to see Griffey back in a Mariners uniform. Hopefully he'll stay relatively healthy and hit a few blasts at Safeco.
