Autobiographies
Writing or editing your own autobiography is strongly discouraged. See Autobiography. This is because you would have a wp:conflict of interest (COI). As you probably want your article to look good, that would conflict with Wikipedia's wp:Five pillars, specifically wp:neutral point of view (NPOV). The removal of your Libya national basketball team would be an example of COI / NPOV. (I find that a fascinating bit of history and in no way hold it against you). That fact would be of interest to others and should be included in the article. So, I restored it with citations. Jim1138 (talk) 19:24, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Need for more citations
A number of sections are completely missing any citations. Per wp:Biographies of living persons (BLP), specifically WP:BLPSOURCES - unsourced information may be removed.

I added a citation to http://www.alfredshouse.com/base/about-randy-holcomb BTW: I notice there is no obvious path to your bio from http://www.alfredshouse.com. I did a google search to find it.

Wikipedia needs to be wp:verifiable, especially BLPs. As most anyone can edit, sources of information should be added to significant edits so that people can verify that information. Also, people often want to find out more about a topic. Please wp:cite wp:reliable sources. Sources that anyone can edit (including Wikipedia!) such as blogs, IMDB, personal websites where the writer does not have a stake in their reputation should be avoided. See WP:NOTRELIABLE.
