Bio:  I am married to my college sweetheart and we have two sons and a daughter.  We still live in my little hometown about an hour from Houston.  I teach at a community college here and love my job.  I’ve been playing DMB since Version 6 and have been in internet leagues since the mid 90s.  Met Greg W. in my short-lived modern league (BPGL).  I reluctantly agreed to join his 70s league and have had a blast from day 1.  He helped me find the BYOF and now the TBBL.  I have been a Rangers fan since the dark ages of the 1970s and am ecstatic that they have turned a corner.  I was so disappointed with them in the Arod era that I sought a patch or some 12 step program to help me kick the Rangers habit.  When my oldest was born 11 years ago, friends asked if I would try to turn him into a Rangers fan.  I said “God no!  Let him find his own misery.”  True to that prophecy, he has.  He is an Astros fan.

I haven’t written for a paper in 20 years, but I covered sports in Central Texas for a couple of small and medium size papers.  I interviewed Brett Favre when he was in college.  I interviewed Bo Jackson with the Royals and Nolan Ryan with the Rangers.  I found Rafael Pameiro to be a cocky $#$* long before he wagged his finger at Congress.

My favorite interview, though was with Geno Petralli, who was a Ranger catcher in the 80s.  Like my dad did, he once drove a truck for Dr. Pepper and really seemed to be aware how special it was to be paid a boatload of money to play a game most of us would play free.
