Born and bred in Houston, I've been a fan of Houston sports since the early 80s. I'm a lover of everything Astros, Rockets and Texans - for better, or usually worse. Now married with 4 children and living in Toronto, I'm given an outsider's perspective of my teams but I still keep it close to home.
