For those of you who don't know me I am one of the foundational members of this board coming over with our original group from AOL. I am a personal friend of the creator of all this, Stan Aten. I loved Stan and will never forget him. If we don't have a page of photos for all visitors to see, I hope to encourage such a page.
I have been known as Ghoolie here for over 20 years, another tribute to the great Ghoulardi. Another man I will never forget.
I have been a Browns fan my entire life, as were my parents, and pretty much everyone in my Youngstown, Ohio circle. There is no other football team that amounts to shit, In my day I was considered here as the most vicious of all Steeler antagonists. Now that the Browns are on the right path that spirit seems to be rising again.
Today I live in murderous Memphis, TN. I am self employed as an environmental engineer specializing in water purification, waste minimization, and resource recycling. (wateristhenewgold.com) I am a patent holder/inventor and serial entrepreneur. My brainchild and start-up, Glanris was featured in Barons three times this past year and our technology has a profound impact in removing carbon from the environment, cleaning water and strengthening asphalt. At 67, I can't believe I am still working, but there you have it.
In my private life I am an avid musician, playing about 30 instruments, was a successful studio owner and author with articles in most of the popular recording magazines and the #2 best selling recording industry reference book, at the time. (Make money with your studio, Tom Volinchak, Hal Leonard publisher). I compose and perform out a select few times per year but love meeting new players. I have a rescue pitbull and a rescue German Shepard. I am also a cigar afcianado with a popular tiktok page @cigarachi.
The wife is part owner of wealth management firm and chief compliance officer, hence we remain in Memphis. Oh yeah, we are blessed to be able to cruise 6x per year.
Looking forward to a Browns SB.
It's good to be back.
