Today I am headed to Cincinnati Music Hall to be honored, along with 39 other outstanding individuals, as the 2010 class of Cincinnati’s “Forty Under 40″. This is a tremendous honor, and I’d like to thank the Cincinnati Business Courier, Sue LaChapelle, and most importantly my family and close friends.

August 25th, 2010Hello Friends,

Bengals Penalties Still an Issue
August 9th, 2010A couple quick thoughts about last nights Bengals vs Cowboys game…
