PERSONAL
I've been blessed with a wonderful family. My oldest Ryan is in his 5rd year
as a ball boy, clubhouse and coaches assistant for the Minnesota Twins. From
the players to the coaches to manager Ron Gardenhire, it's been a life
changing experience for Ryan. My youngest, Seany is in his second year of
college.
There is so much motivating me, all of it good, and I sincerely hope you see
on this reel a talented and experienced broadcaster who can be a big asset
to your needs.
