    Flystripper

    How did you pick your Moniker?

    I fly fish and I have had this name on several sports message boards since 2001

    How did you discover UB5?

    A super secret Facebook forum and CUF

    How many states/countries have you lived in?

    6 California, Illinois, Nebraska, Michigan, Utah, Massachusetts

    What are your Sports Loyalties?

    BYU, Lakers, Dodgers, Blackhawks and Bears.

    What was the moment that cemented your Ute Fanhood?

    I am not a Ute fan, but my wife was a Ute athlete, and I am a fan of her. Falling in love 15 years ago cemented that.

    What do you currently do for a living?

    I am a director of a professional services firm and specialize in the valuation of businesses, intangible assets, equities, debt instruments, derivatives, etc.

    Are your religiously affiliated, and if so, what is your current standing?​

    Baptized LDS, and served a mission. I always had my doubts and concerns about the LDS church. Most of my issues revolved around church history and doctrine. I finally called it quits for good during prop 8. I am not bitter and I don't hate the church because it helped make me who I am today. I just don't believe it anymore. Currently I am unaffiliated.

    Welcone! Flystripper is one of my all-time favorites. A good friend of many of us here.
    One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike -- and yet it is the most precious thing we have.

    --Albert Einstein

    The fact that life evolved out of nearly nothing, some 10 billion years after the universe evolved out of literally nothing, is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice.

    --Richard Dawkins

    Be kind to all, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.

    Welcome Flystripper. Question, who is winning the sports soul of your children? You or your wife?

    Welcome, fellow Southern Californian. Glad you used the pellegrino template. (Wuap won't be far behind in noting what he surely considers a lapse in judgment.) It's good to have you here.

    What sport did your wife play at the U.?

    "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
    --Antoine de Saint-Exupery

    "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold."
    --Yeats

    “True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

    Neither

    Oldest son likes USC
    Middle son likes Oregon
    Daughter likes my little pony

    Any time either of my sons start to root for BYU with me, my wife reminds them that if they want to go there they have to go to church, and the cheers quickly die down. I can't really argue with her. I am a lone man in my home when it comes to college sports.
