I'm a Wildcat fanatic (football and basketball) and I love to share my opinions about them. I've turned blogging into a main hobby and hope to make a career out of it one day. I have a wife and a son, and they are the main focus in my life. My fifteen minutes of fame were thanks to the fact that I created "Free Enes" as proven by John Clay.
