Sports fan all my life. Enjoy all levels- high school, college, and professional. Boston sports fan in the four major sports. My college heart is with Maine Black Bears- also Michigan Wolverines on a more major level for basketball and football. I live in Bangor, have a daughter and granddaughter, and work full-time supporting adults with intellectual disabilities. Sports has been my passion since I was real young- I'm living out a dream being involved with the best sports group in Maine. Hope you enjoy our writings and the website.
