Where did you go to high school?:
Notre Dame High School

Bio:
A life long resident of St. Louis, I have an associates degree from STLCC Meramec, a few Doctorates in various fields from random universities and far too many credentials to list. I plan on furthering my already extensive education and vast knowledge when my 7 year old son graduates highschool and chooses a college. Then I'm going to secretly enroll in the same college without telling him. And when I run into him on campus one day, I'll act all surprised and say "Omigod! What a coincidence! We go to the same college!"

Role:
STL Sports Columnist

Where did you go to high school?:
CBC

Bio:
Born in Manchester. After graduating from CBC, I made my way to Mizzou to study journalism. The one thing it has taught me is that TV reporting sucks. On another note, if you happen to be in Columbia over the next couple of months, give Papa John’s a call and I may just deliver your pizza (of course, I’m not joking).

Was able to join the sports empire known as joesportsfan.com a little over a year ago, after bribing Josh with an autographed Lee Tunnel rookie card. Since then, I have spent most of my time documenting the circus that is ESPN. While I find it highly entertaining, I’m pretty sure it isn’t normal.

Favorite TV Show(s):
Family Guy. Forensic Files is solid too

Favorite STL Personality:
Can’t go wrong with Joe Buck or Bob Costas. Also a fan of Bryan Burwell.

After years of soul searching and eight majors later I received my B.A. in Art History and Studio Art from UMSL.

Bio:
Born and raised in the STL area, I’m proud to say I’m a self-taught guy. My writing style was developed as much on buses and trains and hikes in the woods as it was any classroom. There's as good a chance I will piss you off and/or offend as there is you will enjoy my work, so read at your own risk. I recently joined i70baseball.com as a staff writer with the hope that my grandma will start talking to me again, but I can still be found here at InsideSTL kicking up dust every Thursday. Now pass me a pen and watch as I slap the GPA off your transcript.
