@ABOUT US

Hey WEB Junkies! How the heck are you? My name is Andy Natalie and this is my world. I love baseball and the Philadelphia Phillies. But let me tell you a little about the man behind the genius of PhilliesMania.com. I will leave it up to you to find the genius I am behind. (LOL)

I am 46 years old, and as you can see a stunning looking fat balding man. I was an outstanding athlete as a younger man and I actually had hopes of playing Major League Baseball. I had some brushes with opportunities but that came to a crashing hault when I tore up my left ankle. That was at the ripe old age of 20 years old.

As a result I took up the interest of my second love. That is music. I began playing guitar and soon started a band. I also began singing. As a musician I have opend up for a few Nationally signed acts such as Frahley’s Comet, The Outlaws, and The Marshall Tucker Band. I have performed in front of crowds of up to around 1,500 people. I was also part of another band more recently that had a locally successful CD released in 2002 called “The Sky’s The Limit”. My band The Propellers still play now and again.

I have an amazing wife who had 4 children when we got married. A boy and 3 girls. I have 2 daughters from a previous marriage. So that gives us 6 kids all together. 1 boy and 5 girls if you were counting. A couple of my girls have caught the sports and music bug from me. And my wife is also a PhilliesManiac.

Aside from making some money playing music, I have owned and operated a Janitorial Business since 1983. At on time I had 25 employees. I also spent some time traveling from Boston to Virginia Beach rocking out some cool clubs and some real dives. That got old though. Plus it is hard to maintain a business and travel from Thursday to Sunday.

At this point I reduced my clientel to a managable level where it is just my family and I who do the work. I mean I loved providing work for people but honestly people don’t want to clean. I got tired of chasing down people to see why they weren’t at work. I could tell you more, but really I am past all that now.

I even look like I love doing this!

Above is me in my NET Zone doing my thing. I have recetnly branched out my sports interest and started writing for other web sites also. And I must say I really am diggin’ that. The whole Internet explosion has been remarkably rewarding in many ways. It will be even more rewarding if you people spread the word and get millions of people to my site!

So these days are filled with my family and I living life together and our business paying our bills. And then I have my band that I thoroughly enjoy and on a somewhat regular basis we play paid gigs in and around town. And then I spend my “free” time doing my on line thing. Which means I don’t bother with TV, well except for sports. As you can see I am a very busy beaver.

My wife enjoys sports with me. She also likes to read some. She isn’t much of a hobby person though. She is an outstanding cook too! In fact she is a grill master.

We love to travel and would like to travel more but the economy kind of put a dent into that too.

Our kids are typical modern kids as far as recreation. Kids don’t play outside anymore. They are computer geeks and text message freaks. But they are good kids. The oldest boy is even a father. He is 26 yrs old with a wife and 2 kids. A girl and a boy. So I guess that makes us Grandparents!

On the home page there is a pic of my wife Denise and I in the seats we used to have at Citizen’s Bank Park. We had to cut back on that this year because the economy really slapped us up side the wallet. Nevertheless, at Citizen’s Bank Park in Philly, former Phillie Greg “The Bull” Luzinski has a barbecue restaurant called Bull’s BBQ.
