After thirteen years in Southern California, I relocated in 2007 to the middle of the country and Oklahoma City, and have enjoyed two terrific experiences. The first, anchoring and helping to build a three hour local morning news show from scratch. Then the universe brought the NBA Thunder to OKC, and I was able to work the NBA on a daily basis again, working as sideline reporter and magazine show host. What a great opportunity to reacquaint myself with my first passion – live game sports, and be a party of such a special thing for this community of wonderful people. I hope you read my first book “The Sports Guy: Scorecard Scribblings From An Ordinary Journalist”, which goes into a second edition with a new cover this Fall. I thrive on the game time excitement and energy which I experienced with the Thunder and when working for the likes of FSN/Prime Ticket in Los Angeles and CNN. And I hope to be able to channel my experience and skills towards such a goal in the future. The game – after all – is the thing. I also believe Action Figures, which I produced a full season of in Los Angeles several years ago, has long-term programming viability on a global scale and hope to re-visit its development for the future. Or a similar talk show that explores the extraordinary in people we admire. In the future I will publish several plays and film scripts, travel the world to meet people – and will tell their stories with video and the written word. I’ll also do play-by-play again for a major sports team, and this summer am hosting my first two digital art shows, currently at the OKC Civic Center and also on July 30 at Dean-Lively Gallery in Edmond, Ok. I love teaching and working with young people, so Id like to get my Masters so I can work with college kids who don’t mind the occasional curse word. Expect me to grow old, be a grandfather and smile to my final breath – which I predict will come some time around 2151, A.D. Give or take a few decades.
