User talk:Michael Gartman

Michael Gartman is a 17-year-old American aspiring sportswriter from Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Michael started writing for a site called Bleacher Report in September 2008, and the site has since evolved to sky-scraping heights. Currently a Featured Columnist for the Houston Texans on Bleacher Report, Michael is also the sole Fan Voice for the Texans on NFLTouchdown.com, and the AFC South Administrator and Columnist for Fanhuddle.com.

His articles have been featured on and/or linked to SFGate.com (San Francisco Chronicle), Chron.com (Houston Chronicle), NationalFootballPost.com, USAToday.com, and CBSSports.com, among other sports sites and media outlets.

Michael is homeschooled and has plans of moving to the Houston, Texas. After graduating from high school, Michael plans on attending either a local college in Houston or taking online courses.

In addition to working for Bleacher Report, NFLTouchdown, and FanHuddle, Michael initiated his own blog in the middle of June, 2010, and hopes to quickly generate some profit and popularity.

Though he wants to seek broadcasting later on, he feels writing, specifically about football, as his calling.

Michael is a fan of many athletes, but his favorite player of all sports is Tim Tebow, a rookie quarterback for the Denver Broncos, and renown Florida Gator superstar. Michael admires Tebow's terrific leadership on-and-off-the field, his stellar performance and versatility, but admires his love for Christ the most.

Michael is also a firm believer in Jesus Christ, and has introduced a Bible verse of his choosing (unless one was requested) with every new article presented on Bleacher Report, since his 50th article was published in Februrary, 2010.

He hopes this will maybe inspire someone, and perhaps one day starts somewhat of a trend.

Aside from being a crazed football fanatic, he also enjoys dancing (especially hip-hop), spending time with family and friends, meeting new people, finding himself lost in God's Word, as well as an awe-inspiring or side-splitting article, traveling, going to the beach, watching all of the football action on any given weekend, and offering advice to people in order to reach their full and unlimited potential.

His religous beliefs are entirely Christian. His politcal views are libertarian-independent. His biggest inspirations are namely Andrew Wommack, Phillip Chbeeb, and Glenn Beck, among other reknown writers, dancers, and passionate folllowers of Christ. He enjoys almost all types of music exluding country, but is more inclined to start moving to blends of clever written andear-catching blends of rock and hip-hop music.

Michael was formerly known as Sportscaster007, but it is now recognized as My Dad's Son, or goes by his nickname "snowflake" for his light and very faired skin tone, given to him from a few close friends. But he prefers just being called by his first name, and found it rather difficult performing his own page fully in third person.

His favorite quote is: "It's amazing how far a little bit of passion and creativity can take you."—Phillip Chbeeb

Lastly, he would like to just remind you, "God Bless and Carpe Diem!"
