: About Me

I am a lifelong resident of Long Island and proud father of three awesome kids, they are my breath. My parents have been the foundation in my life and have always been supportive of me. I have two great sisters who are super intelligent, a couple of cutesy and very independent nieces and an awesome, super talented nephew, who is like my little brother.

I graduated from Baldwin High-school class of '84 and went to Western Kentucky University. Go Hilltoppers!

I love sports. I'm a Yankees, Islanders, and NY Giants fan.

I owned a sports-card and memorabilia store and autograph show promotions company. I had the good fortune to meet most of my sports heroes. Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays, Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron, Barry Bonds, Ken Griffey Jr. and the so on. Working in that industry allowed me to rub elbows with so many athletes and hall of famers, many of them who are no longer with us. I enjoyed talking to them and listening to their stories and opinions. I had the privilege of having a couple of hall of famers over my house and I was invited into the homes of Yogi Berra and Whitey Ford. These memories will never diminish.

I enjoy reading different types of books; fantasy novels, sports autobiographies, the classics, and a variety of other subjects. I am a big fan of comic books. I love the artwork and deep thinking that goes into a successful comic book.

My greatest desire is to travel the country in my camper going to ball games and running my business from anywhere, thank you internet and ebay. And my greatest desire is to be with my children.

Back in Time Go back in time Take back the words Their mine I love you was never said Since it was never felt, dead Like you at night Alone and sleeping light Covers pulled up nice and tight No one around, no one in sight Not allowed in Dripping with sin Like all things fine A quickie to unwind Then no more hellos Just goodbyes
