My love for the Sixers began the day Dr. J jumped out the gym of the Nassau Coliseum and landed on the hardwood of the Philadelphia Spectrum.
I got my dollars up over the years and in 1999 I became a season ticket holder for The Sixers - Section 121 in case you're interested.
I reside in South Central New Jersey with my beautiful wife and daughter, and work in NYC where I am the VP of Software Development for an international securities firm. In order to get to Sixers games, I'm on that 4:39 NJ Transit Express.
I ran an independent comic book company for 4 years and I'm also the author of a critically acclaimed book. Now I'm trying feverishly to produce animated webisodes with little success. I hoped to have two novels published in 2004, obviously I missed that deadline but will have something out in early 2008 come hell or high water! Nonetheless life is great for me.
My loves are my family, hip hop, jazz, and the Sixers.
