Favorite moment from the 2019 season?
I don't really have a favorite moment; the whole season was a really great experience as a whole. It was the first year my wife and I were able to attend an away game and we not only were able to attend 1 but 2. (Colts & Falcons) The 2019 season was something I have been waiting for a long time!! It was an epic year and I only hope that the coming years are just a continuation of what happened last season! We need our #TitanUp family to be loud and proud!
Favorite Titans Player (past or present or both)?

Favorite Nissan Stadium Moment?
I would have to say that my favorite moment in the stadium occurred September 12, 1999. My dad who passed away 4 years ago in 2016, called me and I had just started college. His boss had given him 2 tickets to the Inaugural Home Opener at the then Adelphia Coliseum. I had no idea what I was going to and he really didn't either. We loaded up that Sunday and went to see our Titans play the Cincinnati Bengals in an epic game that we won 36-35. I spent a great day with my dad and that day sparked a love and passion for MY team that continues to grow today!
Favorite Away Game Moment?
Winning a trip to Indy and the moment we took the game on Tye Smith's touchdown after a blocked field goal our group was chanting "Let's Go Titans" so loud that everyone in the stadium was looking at our section in disbelief! It was great to go into the Colts house and silence them! And to be so loud everyone in the stadium, that wasn't leaving, were looking up at us because we were so loud.
What are some of your gameday traditions?
Traditions have changed over the years, but one thing is constant now. It's a time my wife and I use to get away together and enjoy all the different people we have met at the stadium over the years. We tailgate with several different friends at different times, although one tradition that I try to stick to, is to be in my seat before the National Anthem to listen to it and see any flyover we may have so that I can see the team run out of the tunnel. That moment gets me so pumped up, seeing our boys run out of the tunnel and the offense or defense announced is something I'll always love!!
What is one item on your Titans bucket list?
Seeing our team play in the Super Bowl! It has always been a running joke in my family that I would get a second mortgage on my house to be able to be at that game (almost happened last year)!! Leading the Titans out of the tunnel or being able to run out with one of my favorite players would be a close second.
What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?
Enjoy Life, we only get one!
Tell us a little about your life outside of the Titans?
I have been married to my beautiful wife Hannah for ten years, we have 4 awesome children. Kalli (18), Alissa (14), Addison (11), & Kortland (9). Yes, we named our son after one of the great Titans players. My wife and I own and operate a small restaurant in Carthage conveniently named Michael & Hannah's. I am a licensed Realtor & Auctioneer with a great real estate business and also invest in rental property, flips, and new construction. Most anyone who knows me knows I absolutely LOVE my Titans. We enjoy spending time with family and friends and recently got into going camping. It gives us time "off the grid" to be able to get away and have fun together! We also have a chocolate lab named Brodie. If I'm not doing something Titans related or looking at real estate, I enjoy anything my wife and kids want me to do as long as I'm with them!
