Bio
I'm a lone identical twin, a baseball umpire since 1981 with international, professional, and teaching experience on my resume', the author of dozens of magazine profiles of other sports officials, and a musician/singer/songwriter who has opened shows for Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel. I'm also a "Jeopardy!" champion and quiz show queen who has won $$$ on five shows total, as well as a baseball trivia expert and aspiring recluse - so go away now.
