I grew up in Southeast Missouri and somehow became an Atlanta Braves fan in my childhood. Sorry Cards fans! It could be worse; I could be a Cubs fan. I absolutely love sports; I will watch almost anything that is competitive, football being my favorite. One of my greatest claims to fame is never having being beaten in a fantasy football league.

The love of my life is my 12-pound Shichon puppy, Maddux, named after Greg Maddux of the Atlanta Braves (NOT of the Cubs :)

I am a pop culture junkie. I follow entertainment sites daily and can name all of Angelina Jolie's children in order. For breaking celebrity news, friend me on Facebook.
