About

I am an aspiring writer at a later stage in life. I enjoy writing about sports, especially NFL football and Nascar, as well as many real life experiences. I believe sarcasm is more effective at getting a point across than sugar -coating issues. If you are concerned with stepping on toes, IMO, you have no business being in the business.

After you take the time to read some of my articles, it will become profoundly evident that I "exsist for controversy, and controversy exsist for me". My blood gets pumping at a rapid pace by stirring the proverbial pot. I live for this.

I take great pride in the fact that I had my very first attempt at penning a book published, as well as having it accepted for distribution into America's leading bookstore chain. The title is, "New England Bandwagon Nation". It is the real story of the history of NFL fan support in New England. Yes, I am a native New Englander, but have never been a Patriots fan.

I had experienced participating on an undefeated, championship football team, which lost only three games in four years, and undefeated baseball team and a lousy ice hockey team by the age of thirteen. By fifteen, I had driven my first Saturday night stock car race and by the age of eighteen I owned my own stock car. Two years later I won my first feature race. There were more to come after that first one.

I have much life experiences to draw from. I have the gift of being able to place people right into situations with words. That being said, I do believe that I may learn from ANYONE, and anyone can learn from me. I hope you enjoy my work and I appreciate feedback whether it be positive or negative.

BTW, I am an animal lover and that is my dog who's name is Greta and NO, you cannot have her!

We are both "so lappy to meet you"!!!
