I hate writing these sections.  However, I love being back in front of a microphone.  You might be slightly shocked to know, if you even care, that I was a news anchor and reporter for 10 years until my career was cut short by, well, me and the higher authority upstairs.  Check out my Retro section for proof (and original color hair). While the thrill of being on live television for 2 1/2 hours a day is exhilarating, it didn't pay squat and dreams don't pay the bills.  Kids can't eat mac-n-cheese forever.  Wife likes her daily Amazon delivery.  I'm originally from New York City, born and raised in Flushing, Queens (think Citifield).  I have a blessed life that most people would kill for.  If you want to know more, it'll cost ya!
