What year did you graduate from Bluffton High School?

I graduated from BHS in 2002.

Where are you living now and what is your occupation? You don't happen to own the tattoo parlor in Columbus were all the football players hang out, do you?

My wife and I are living in Columbus, where she attends OSU and I teach middle school Spanish for Columbus City Schools. The tattoo parlor is not mine, but I have been trading the players guitar lessons for old helmets.
