It is with great remorse that I announce that I must withdraw from the USML. I started and stopped writing this email several times, because I really did not want to take this decision lightly, but I have not been able to devote the time and attention to my
team and this league that I think they deserve (and would likely have to miss this year's draft yet again), so it only seems fair that I step away. Perhaps in the next few years as my work and personal life schedules ease up I can re-join, but for now I must
step away.<u></u><u></u></div>

It has been an honor to be part of the league and I am truly thankful to Rich for bringing me on back in 2012. I will always be thankful for the bonds formed with members of the league- I will never be thankful for the 8am draft start times on weekends while
