Introduction I am a free spirit with a competitive streak. I am married to an amazing woman-Mary Beth, and we recently had a son named Parker. He was born December 29, 2008, so we are adjusting to parenthood. I played two years of minor league baseball for the Philadelphia Phillies and now I am working in investment management. I am planning to go back to school to get my MBA in the next few years, hopefully in Colorado (my favorite place to be). Exciting times in the Blanton household-enjoy.
