Hobbies or Special Talents:

I enjoy watching baseball, college hoops and both college and pro football. Up until a few years ago, I could have said I enjoyed playing baseball. I still umpire high school and college baseball, which keeps me connected to one of my passions--baseball. I follow the following schools in basketball, baseball and/or football: Wright State, Nebraska, Creighton, Butler, UC, Xavier and several other programs.

I love to eat, read, ride my bicycle at high speeds and lifting weights/working out. I also enjoy meeting people and getting to know about their lives.
