JD Stenger

I was born in Orlando, and moved to Lake Wales when I was 11. Since I was a child, I've always wanted to write. I used to write stories when I was barely old enough to form words on paper and give them to my mom. Around 2007-08 I started writing Bucs fantasy game recaps through football diehards.com for foxsports.com's fantasy arm. I have sang country music professionally. I owned my own pool care business for a number of years which I enjoyed. Now I'm honored to be providing content for The Pewter Plank. I'm hoping to broaden my horizons here, and climb the ladder. Most memorable Bucs game: 1979/80 NFC Championship game between the Bucs and Rams, 50 yard line seats.
