Introduction Writer, News Junkie, Political Junkie, Sports Fan, Music/History Addict, Travel Enthusiast and Civic Activist. Active blogger and on Twitter daily! 4th-generation Texan, born in San Antonio, later moved to Memphis, then to South Florida in summer of 1968, growing-up in North Miami Beach. Growing-up, my family and I visited ALL points of interest & amusement throughout South Florida. Left N.M.B. in August of 1979 for the beautiful rolling hills and Hoosier Cream &  Crimson of Indiana University, Bloomington. After college, I lived/worked in Chicago/Evanston/Wilmette, IL, and then Washington, D.C. and Arlington County, VA. I've worked at highest levels of political campaigns since I was in HS, including helping to manage a successful statewide presidential primary campaign. Grew-up as a fan of Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Orioles, then Indiana Hoosiers at college, so I've probably been to the Orange Bowl, Camden Yards, and IU's Assembly Hall more than anyone you will EVER meet!
