I'm a former sports writer with the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the Chattanooga Times Free Press, the Tennessean and the (Clarksville) Leaf-Chronicle. I covered the Tennessee Vols, the Tennessee Titans, national golf, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Mocs and various other sports.

I'm a die-hard UT and Atlanta Braves fan. I also cheer for the Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta Hawks and Arsenal Gunners, though I'm not a rabid fan of any.

I have a beautiful wife and baby son, and I live in New Market, AL and work in missile defense. I am a Christian who attends Pleasant Hill Baptist Church in Flintville, Tenn., and I'm a 2002 graduate of the University of Tennessee.

I enjoy fishing, watching sports, playing sports, hanging with my family and reading books. My favorite books are Stephen King's Dark Tower series, Mudbound, The Help and the Song of Fire and Ice series.

My favorite shows on TV are Breaking Bad, Friday Night Lights, The Sopranos, Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, LOST, 24.

A few of favorite movies of mine are Forrest Gump, Almost Famous, The Big Lebowski, There Will Be Blood, the Nolan Batman movies, A River Runs Through It and An Unfinished Life.
