Sharpe as a Tack

Mar 18, 2009 Nov 10, 2009 25 411

I am a married guy in his late twenties living in Colorado Springs. I've been a Broncos fan since living in Illinois in the early 90s, when my mom forced me to watch Broncos games so she could get her fix of John Elway. Apparently, she had a crush on the guy. Go figure. Since then, I've loved watching my Broncos and in 2006 fulfilled a lifelong dream to live in Colorado, the home state of my home team. I have a Bachelor's degree in Communication Studies (just as useless as it sounds) and Philosophy (ditto); I am currently pursuing my Master's in School Counseling. I played basketball in high school, but not football, even though I was recruited to play tight end (being 6' 4" helps there). Because of this, Shannon Sharpe has always been my favorite Bronco (outside of Elway). I don't have a solid knowledge of Xs and Os, but I pick things up fast and look forward to getting my degree from MHR University soon. I think the best thing I bring to MHR is a balanced approach to all issues and a critical thinking mindset which always questions assumptions. I look forward to a great time here at MHR!
