About Me

I competitively manage a fantasy football team, though I seem to be better at projects. Growing up on the outskirts of St. Louis, I had no choice in becoming a Cardinals fan, a trait which my son has inherently acquired. I enjoy coaching Little League, spending time with my family, reading and occasionally playing music. With 3 kids and one on the way, there is no shortage of events to enjoy.
