About Me

I am a Writer. I am a huge Chicago Cubs fan and was a press box usher for one glorious season. Huge movie lover. Insomniac. I love eating out. I love to play pool. I love when the weather is warm, the Cubs are winning, and when people aren't a holes. I teach chess to kids which is a great joy to me.
