People who Influence You:  My wife, close friends, and extended family.


High School/Year Graduated/Sports Played (if any):  I graduated from Massillon Washington High School in 1980, where I played Basketball my first 3 years.


Favorite Sports Teams:
  Cleveland Indians, Browns, and Cavs. Ohio State Football and Basketball, and Massillon Football and Basketball.


Favorite Sports Memory:  The Indians (finally) reaching the World Series in 1995, which is followed closely by Ohio State's National Championship in 2002.


Favorite Moment Covering a Sports Event:
  When I was doing play-by-play of the Massillon Tigers on WTIG when Chris Spielman played. I'll never forget a long punt return of his, where he was tackled around the 20 yard line and carried 4 guys on his back down to the 5, before he finally went down.


Athlete that Best Represents You: Bernie Kosar: 
He's not flashy, got the job done more with his brain than athletic ability, and he was quick to take the blame for a loss, but never took credit for the win.


Favorite Moment so far on Stark Sports Live:
  When we interviewed Doug Miller from Central Catholic. Doug is a long-time coach and educator who shared several great stories with us!
