Hometown: My father was in the Navy for 20 years so we moved around a lot. I’ve settled in Minneapolis and this is “home” now.

How many games do you go to? I probably go to about a dozen games a year. I had season tickets a few years back but stopped getting them when my “Diamond View” season tickets would only qualify me for “Lower Reserved” post-season tickets. Lower Reserved seats in the Dome: Worst Seats Ever.

How long have you been a Twins fan? I’ve been a Twins fan since 1985. I moved to the Cities from northern Minnesota to go to college.

Favorite Twins Memory: My brother worked at the Mobil station at the corner of Washington and 35W in 1987. Gladden and Brunansky would always stop by with tickets to the games. He parlayed this somehow into tickets for games six and seven of the Series. I was in center field seats (in that little nook where the seats are folded up) for both of those games. I remember flying out of the Dome after the Twins won and whooping it up across the 10th Avenue bridge.

Favorite Player: My current favorite player is probably Lew Ford. Or maybe Little Nicky Punto.

Favorite Blizzard Flavor: M&M!
