I'm a former sports journalist. I still have a passion for sports, particularly the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals, as well as the Los Angeles Dodgers. I have an abiding love of journalism, though I'm concerned about where it's going. I love to keep an eye on politics. Nothing is more important to me than family. Nothing.
