I'm a 28 year old collector out of Apple Valley in Ohio. I am a 4th grade language arts teacher to 70 wonderful kids in Mount Vernon, OH. My wife teaches 8th grade language arts in the same district. My daughter just turned 2 years old over the weekend, and my wife is expecting another daughter in April. I'm also a percussion instructor during the marching band season, track coach in the spring, softball player in the summer, and oh yeah, I collect cards!

My collection is constantly changing. Unlike many of you, I can't seem to ever stay collecting the same thing. I collect anything from N162s, N28s, to all the Topps cards from 1952 - 2006 including variations, sets for my daughter, and tobacco cards. I met several of you like Leon, Bill Cornell, Bob Marquette (tbob), Brett Hardeman, and many more at the Chicago convention last year. Brett and his papa were kind enough to ask me to be a featured collector in their OLD CARDBOARD magazine in their 6th issue, so if you want to read up on me, I'm in there on p. 10. My good buddy, Bryan Long, also an N54 member keeps me itching for more vintage. It's very cool to have an old childhood friend to talk about our new cards with!

Cool posting!
