Resident of Portland, Maine, having moved here in 1993 from Ft. Collins, CO upon graduation from Colorado State U. Grew up in North Jersey, where I still have family. Got into football at a young age but developed an intense interest around the age of eleven, coinciding with the retirement of my childhood toys. Wrote for Stadium Guide to Football from 1995-99. Other interests include fishing, camping, weightlifting, cycling, reading and cooking.
I love Religion, Family, Football, History, Politics and I try to keep them in the right order. I am a poet and published playwright my theatre company's website is: http://www.mpaact.org. At age 15 I published my first college football column in a community newspaper.
I had a short and undistinguished athletic career, I hope my career writing and evaluating is much more impressive.
