The Fort Wayne WizardsÂ’ 1993 arrival marked the beginning of professional baseball in northeast Indiana for many. However, the city boasts a rich baseball heritage that traces its roots to the very origins of the game. In fact, baseball and its record books begin with Fort Wayne. Over more than 135 years, dozens of teams have called Fort Wayne their homefield, making players into local legends and stars who excelled in the spotlight of baseballÂ’s biggest stage. Baseball in Fort Wayne recounts the sportÂ’s presence in the city, from the earliest days of 1871Â’s Kekiongas to todayÂ’s Wizards, as well as those who took the field in between.
I discovered a passion for writing while in high school. Through two college degrees and a marketing career, I've continued to write everything from poetry and novels, to magazine articles, technical manuals and Web content.
I'm a lifelong resident of Auburn, Indiana. Earned a BA in Corporate English and Communication from Tri-State University (soon to be renamed Trine University - which I am in favor of BTW) in 1999 and a MA in Professional Communication from Purdue University in 2005.
Since 1999, I have been employed as a financial services marketer. Specific responsibilities have included on-line channel development and product management, and I have written for production in newspaper, magazine, direct marketing, television, radio and Internet mediums.
I continue to my home in Indiana with my wife, Jenny, and our two daughters (Daphne and Stella).
