If you have follow-up and additional questions for him please feel free just be respectful and don't invade his privacy.

When and what version did you start playing OOTP? . OOTP8, I don't really remember exactly when, but it was probably as soon as it was released.

What's feature of the game you love most?
Facegen, custom logos, home and away uniforms, the ability to mod/customize the game in many different ways to suit your personal tastes.

What's favorite baseball team (any league)?
All time - The Brooklyn Dodgers, of current teams - The Texas Rangers

How old you?
55 and countin!

Where are you originally from?
Why TEXAS of course! Where a lot of people wish they were from! Yee-haw and I'm still here...

Are you a family man?
Yup, 33 years and countin! Boy & girl twins 35, daughter 30, 4 grand-kids and countin!

What do you for a living?
Mostly, not a damn thing... I'm Retired!
I was in the Landscape Construction/Nursery industry for over 27 years. Owned my own biz for 13 years...

Besides OOTP do you have any other hobbies or interest?
Watching my Texas A&M Aggies, Texas Tech and Baylor Bears football games, Cowboy Action Shooting competitions, BPCR - Black Powder Cartridge Rifle - Long Range Silhouette Competitions...

Your known as a "modder" or "creator" what was the first you made for OOTP and do you still have it?
Hard to say what the the first one was, probably edited a jersey and/or a cap to fit one of my teams that I couldn't find a uniform for... The first one I posted was a Texas cap and jersey for the States Project, yes I still have it.

What individual item or project you made for OOTP are you most proud off that?
Without a doubt, working with Knuckler in the Retro Style Logos & Uniforms thread... Knuckler was very encouraging and patient and he took the time to help me when I was fairly new as this.

If the OOTP team asked you be a consultant what will you change, add or remove for new version of the game?
Not necessarily from the OOTP Team, I would really love to see a complete multi-year database of all the Negro Leagues, teams and players that the game would utilize...

What other modder's work do you personally enjoy?
All of them really. They each put their own personal touch into the game. No Pepper's uniforms have always been my favorite. Questdog's mods and Spritze's databases are favorites too along with the baseball card templates by fhomess, klavier and some others. All of these add a lot to the game. Thanks to guys like davwms, Deft, fhomess, Gern44, Reds, Justafan, No Pepper, micropterus58 and others who contributed to the making of the cap, jersey and logo templates. Without these guys work, I could'nt make diddly squat!

Is there any other game or show your currently enjoying you would like to let us know about? NCAA Football on my PS3, several RTS games on my PC...
