About Me

My name is Michael, I'm living in the Pittsburgh suburbs at the moment. I'm educated at Penn State with a degree in Communications.
I have professional radio broadcasting experience during my time there and also worked as a PR/PA guy for the Penn State Lady Icers. I learned from that experiences what it was like to do it for the love of the game.
I am a huge hockey fan also! I guess it's in my blood now ever since the Pittsburgh Penguins won the Cup in the 90's. I have been teaching myself how to ice skate. Still, a little slow going backwards, but I can't practice that often with the risk of turning a little midget player into a speedbump during the all skate sessions.
My friends would probably describe me as "considerate", "kind", "thoughtful" and a "genuine knight".

Cheaters Never Prosper

Nobody likes a bully. Especially people like me who had to put up with it during my youth. And now I have to reflect on this Superbowl 23 that the once "shock the world" alternative underdog Patriots ...
