I'm an avid Boston sports fan and fantasy sports enthusiast. When I'm not blogging, I serve as Audio and Video producer as well as High School History teacher at Harvest Ministries on the island of Guam. The 14-hour time difference can make things challenging, but I'll play any fantasy sports just about anytime I can.
