Though I have only officially lived in Maryland for the past 20 years, I have been an Orioles fan since my earliest years – even attending the 1966 World Series. In those days, I also followed the Colts, Bullets, Clippers and anything else Baltimore related. So it is a delight to live here now and and write for The Baltimore Wire, having begun the site in 2013. I have coached high school cross country and track, including my own five sons. I am also the pastor of a church in Hagerstown and serve also in historic interpretation at Antietam National Battlefield.
