1990-present
Editor in Chief and CEO
Paintball Times

Have been the Editor in Chief of Paintball Times since it was a print newsletter that was distributed to local paintball fields and shops around the midwest. In 1993 we went online and grew to a behemoth. Only one other paintball website was online back then. We now receive over 5.5 million monthly visitors, are ranked among the top 20,000 most visited pages online, and have a growing staff. I no longer write articles on a routine basis for Paintball Times, my writing staff does that. But now I login to edit and approve articles. Can be found online at: www.PaintballTimes.com

2005-present
Editor in Chief
Football Times

Due to the enormous success of Paintball Times, I decided to branch out into a more mainstream sport, and a sport that I have played and loved since I was 10 years old. I knew a ton about football and had written about football strategy for many years. I decided that I should finally put together a publication about the sport I love. Football Times is not about professional football or college football, there is no way I can keep up with the multitude of news websites that have billions in resources dedicated to news gathering and publishing, so I decided to target a different audience; the everyday backyard and playground football player. Not the professional player, but the recreational player. Similar to what Paintball Times aims to accomplish.

Football Times contains many articles on playing backyard football, plays you can use, strategies, staying safe and a lot more. We are already paying writers for content and articles and we should see continued growth. can be found online at: www.FootballTimes.org

Research:

During College
Medical College of Ohio, Toledo, Ohio.

Pathology Department with Dr. Gunning. The project I was working on aims to evaluate the use of transgenic mice to assess the lymphomagenic activity of pesticides and pesticide/fertilizer mixtures. There is an apparent epidemiological association with increased incidence of leukemia and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma for herbicides. There is sufficient evidence for carcinogenic activity for a number of pesticides in experimental animals to have warranted the EPA to restrict and or ban their use, but the association of pesticides with increased risk for lymphomagenisis has not been evaluated in laboratory animals. I am aiming to evaluate these mice for lymphomagenic and/or skin tumor promoting activity from these pesticides.

Post Graduate Research/Masters Program
Medical College of Ohio, Toledo, Ohio.

Physiology Department with Dr. Joana Chakraborty. Studied HIV and AIDS and research the quantity and depth of knowledge that the Arab American community had on the subject.

Also researched the murine HIV virus equivalent, TS1, which only one other lab in the nation was studying. We studied vertical and horizontal transmission.

Post Graduate Research/Master’s Program
Medical College of Ohio, Toledo, Ohio.

Surgery Department with Dr. Juan Sanabria. Researched liver transplants in rats. Varied the storage solution, used pegylated-Albumin, and other variables to find a better storage solution than the current UW solution. Used an isolated rat liver perfusion model. Used microsurgical techniques to perform over 1800 microvascular surgeries on rats. Had an abstract published:

Methoxypolyethylene Glycol Modified-Albumin Enhanced the Cold Preservation Properties of UW Solution in Liver Grafts.
