Why do you like your job? Great seats at games.  Kidding! Actually, I love the opportunity to entertain and inform.  I love meeting new people constantly.  I love getting myself into a mess of video and then trying to piece it all together like a puzzle.  I love the rush of deadlines.  I love being a goof and getting paid for it.  I love getting away from this computer and into the mix.  Oh, and did I mention, it’s the only real way to fuel my massive ego.

Dream story: The extinction of the Green Bay Packers.  Just kidding Pack fans.  Calm down.
