Michael's Entry: I have somewhat of the "local celebrity" side of things -- as Broadcaster at Hardeeville Speedway, Ogelthorpe Speedway and now MRN Radio, I have been in the face of the public for some time.

My weight problem is baffling... I tried the low carb thing, and it worked for awhile, then the weight came back in a hurry. I have an extremely busy lifestyle with work as an Engineer for a local HVAC company then either racing during the season or doing radio ads or other types of off season work.

I would love to be considered and would bring a different type of spin to the mix of the contest. Thank you for your consideration.
