Outside my family, the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Tampa Bay Rays and my fantasy baseball team (yes, in that order), I'm all about local business.

If you're a business owner, manager, employee, someone else who is interested in business or who might discover a latent interest in business, I'm writing for you.

I believe business is less about numbers than it is about personal fortune, both good and bad, opportunity and human endeavor.

Business people, particularly small-business people, are creative and uncommonly adaptive. They're generally competitive by nature and motivated with an appetite for information. I aim to provide it.
