About Me

Like the Minnesota Twins, I was born in 1961. That was the year Calvin Griffith moved the original Washington Senators to Bloomington, Mn and began playing in the erector set known as Metropolitan Stadium.

I'm sure I was born a Minnesota Twins' fan. My mom was one of two sets of twins in her family. She and her brother were fraternal twins and their oldest brothers were identical twins.

Once my mom and dad started their family they had fraternal twins: my brothers Darell and Duane. My destiny couldn't have been more clearer than the nose on my face, unless I had been born a twin too.

Though the ballpark would eventually be torn down and become the site of the Mall Of America, destiny reaped its just rewards again in 2006 while I was working at a hotel across the street from the shrine and met the woman of my dreams - my wife and best friend Emma.
