New Okinawa GM

#1 Post by ehortness »

Hey everybody in the PEBA. Now that I finally have the league file downloaded and was able to get the game opened up, I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Eric Hortness and besides 4 years in college, I've spent my other 40 years in South Dakota (yes we have electricity....no we don't use the pony express). Die hard Dodgers fan and baseball junkie in general. I played baseball in college, have coached several different age groups including about 10 years as a college coach. I currently am the Executive Director of our Chamber of Commerce in Madison, SD which has a population of around 7300.
I am married with two kids. My wife is the general manager of an Anytime Fitness gym and we have a sophomore boy and a Kindergarten girl (full range of emotions in our house).
I look forward to being a part of the PEBA and bringing Okinawa into a team that other teams fear.
