Yep, that's his name. I understand the nomination process and I feel that even though I'm not a very experienced umpire, I'm better than some that have been chosen. Our state UIC has watched me ump on more than one occasion and there's very little he has to say to help me improve. Our local UIC has only told me to slow down on my "foul ball" calls. If they can't find anything else wrong with my calling, I'm assuming I'm doing a fine job. Like I said, I'll just hang out and wait my turn.
