About Me
100% Complete Bio
I have been a Braves and Falcons fan my entire life. I endured some of the worst baseball and football ever from them in the 80's, and some of the best and most exciting from them in the 90's. I finally got to see the Braves win it all, and one day, ONE DAY, I will see the Falcons win the Super Bowl.
I don't understand people who root for teams in regions they or their family have never lived, or even visited.
My parents went to Georgia tech, and I went to UGA, so I do root for both schools, until they play each other, then it's always Georgia.

| Occupation: | Never ask me about my business. |
| Companies: | That's a bit personal, don't ya think? |
| Places I lived: | Fullerton, CA |
| Greatest Moment in Sports: | It's hard to say, because great for me is usually far different from great for someone else. Even though I don't follow hockey, the Miracle on Ice is probably it. |
| Greatest Event in Sports: | Nothing beats the Superbowl. |
| Greatest Athlete of All Time: | It's tough to say, but nobody ever dominated like Michael Jordan did. In a time when the NBA was at it's best, he dominated the best players,and quite often made it look easy. I hated him for it. |
| Greatest Coach of All Time: | I am going to go with Bobby Cox. I am biased, but I honestly think no other manager could have been as successful with those Braves teams. |
| Most Fanatical Moment: | I went to the Braves Hall of Fame Dinner a few years ago to watch them honor the 1995 team. Dale Murphy was there, and I stalked him until he wasn't busy or getting food to talk to him. I probably watched him for like an hour. I felt kinda weird, but he was so nice it was ridiculous. One reason he is my favorite player of all-time. |
| My Sports Superstitions: | I don't get caught up in them too much. |
| Most Disappointing Sports Moments: | The Falcons getting beat in the Superbowl by, of all people, John freaking Elway. |

| Sports People I've Met: | Dale Murphy, Dominique Wilkins, Joe Montana, Deion Sanders, John Smoltz, Bobby Cox, David Justice, Keith Brooking, Warrick Dunn, Michael Vick, Andre Rison, Jamal Anderson, Jerry Glanville, Dan Reeves, Brett Butler, Sid Bream, Steve Garvey, Don Sutton, Chipper Jones, Rafael Furcal, Andruw Jones, and many others who are less famous, and some I probably forgot. |

| Sports Trading Cards: | I don't really collect anymore, but I still have my Dale Murphy and Charles Barkley rookie cards around. |
