I was born and raised in San Diego, California - so I'm still a big baby during the Minnesota winter.  My 10 year old son, Isaac, is the most important thing in the world to me - but don't tell that to my dog or three cats.  I am a sports fanatic, and admittedly, a fan of most types of gambling (good thing I never have any money, eh?)  I love St. Cloud, and currently live in the great city of Sauk Rapids....Go Storm!
