I have been a big sports fan and have also been involved with sports since I was a youngster.
I never was much of an athlete as a kid, but I can say that I am a very good baseball umpire and enjoy having fun with the kids that I have the pleasure to officiate.
I grew up with guys like Carl Yastrzemski, Bobby Orr, John Havlicek, and Dale Murphy as my sports heroes and tried to emulate them in our backyard/driveway games!
