You might say I’m a sports geek. I played baseball, football and basketball from the age of 7 all through high school and no one told me I stunk. So with no offers from a major college to play sports, I decided to exchange my equipment for text books. I attended Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU), which is recognized in the New England area as being the Harvard of New Hampshire. I graduated with a degree in Sports Management/Marketing. I have 11 years of professional sports experience which means I’m getting old.
This is my 8th season with the Detroit Tigers organization. My best sports moment was going to the Tigers playoff games in 2006 and watching them play in the World Series. It would be great to get back to the series this year. GO TIGERS!!!
Favorite Sports Movie: Dodgeball
