Jay is a 40 year old man from San Antonio, Texas, USA

My name is Jay, and I am a sportswriter for the San Antonio Express-News and the San Antonio Metal Music blogger for Examiner.com. I'm an Iowa Hawkeyes alum originally from Chicago and have lived in Indiana and Florida.
On Examiner.com, I interview various bands and write CD/concert reviews/previews. I'm a great person to know in part because I usually get free concert tix!
I've covered the Super Bowl and Wrestlemania 25 and have interviewed Michael Jordan, various WWE wrestlers and ultimate fighters and of course, many bands of all genres.
Drop me a line and let me know what you think of the metal blog. If you subscribe (it's free), you get an alert every time I write a new one. I also enjoy the beach, working out, cooking, dining in or out and miniature Dachshunds.
That's me on the left with Slayer singer/bassist Tom Araya.
Cheers!
