I went to my first ball game at Exhibition Stadium in Toronto during the 1985 season. Bell, Barfield, Moseby, Griffin, Fernandez, etc were my favourites growing up. I was also a huge Gary Carter fan (my grandmother got me a team signed Expos ball at spring training in 1982) and I still collect his cards today.

I was a comic geek growing up and I worked at Lookin' for Heroes Cards & Comics during my high school years in Kitchener, Ontario. It was during this time that I joined their N.L. Rotisserie Baseball League. From there I started to collect baseball cards. Went to University of Waterloo for my BA, and York University in Toronto for my B.Ed. I'm now a special education teacher in Kitchener, Ontario.

I've been married for 6 years and loving every second of it. We have a beautiful early 19th century arts & crafts home with all the original parts (everything from heating grates to door knobs and hinges). As you can see, transitioning into pre-war baseball cards isn't too much of a stretch for me. I'm a type collector with my eye on Old Judge cards. I also love the T200 Fatima set. I'd like to complete it some day.

Oh. And I love hockey. Pretty Canadian, eh?
