My name is Brad and I am from the Texas Hill Country, just west of San Antonio.  I am a very shy and reclusive person (yea right) and enjoy spades, remote control airplanes, hunting, fishing and anything outdoors.  I am 40 yrs old and find that these days' camping is much nicer in a Marriott than a pup tent.

I found Foreverspades 3 or 4 years ago while playing rated in Beetle Spot with Ron (wizard_of_spade2000).  I used to bug Renne (mouse) and Mel (forevers_Melanie) a lot to partner me because I didn't know anyone being the new guy (girl at that time..long story) and became friends with them fast.

About a year ago, Mel and I started talking more and more and one day we decided to meet.  What an amazing woman!!!  We found ourselves laughing all the time and finishing each others sentences and really enjoying time together.  We talked it over and decided to take it to the next level and now live together in Houston with her 3 beautiful children, 17 cats, 2 turtles, and a dog. cvwety0943tyhivha'i..oops a cat just ran across the keyboard.  Ok, only 2 cats now, we got rid of a litter, lol.  I am so fortunate to have met Melanie and have Foreverspades to thank for it.  Thanks Jan!!!

I did stop playing in the league for a short time to take a break.  I found myself helping a friend run another league doing the Co Admin gig (spreading my wings as Jan called it).  Wow, some break.  I couldn't get back to Foreverspades fast enough so I could get some rest!!!  It's tough work running a league.  I've been in many others, but none could even come close to Foreverspades.  I am very happy to be back as a staff member and look forward to playing more.  Happy spading!!
