Born and raised in southern Arizona, I have been a lifelong baseball fan and have loved the Diamondbacks ever since they arrived in the desert. I hold a B.S. in Business Management from the University of Arizona and currently reside in Tucson, Arizona. I am a claims adjuster by day, and love watching, talking, and writing about the great game of baseball. You can follow me on Twitter @Nick_Valenzuela
