Columnist
I have worked in radio for many years, and I've been a huge DC sports fan for longer than that. I am no expert; I'm a loud guy with a microphone and sack full of opinions. As a big fan and supporter of mixed martial arts, I am very avid in my motivation to get the sport into the mainstream. Join me on a wonderful journey filled with screaming and profanity. I currently do a radio show with LaVar Arrington on 1067 The Fan and a TV show called "Sports Week" on DC50. And I have lots of other projects I'm guessing you aren't interested in.
