a native of Springfield, MO, but is proud to call the ArkLaTex home.
Lance
believes great sportscasts are filled with great local stories; focusing on the
athletes, coaches and fans that make the ArkLaTex a hotbed for sports.
He loves the traditional sports like football, basketball, and
baseball, but isn't afraid to tangle with the outdoor world or showcase
non-traditional athletes.
Lance got
his foot in the door at KQTV in St. Joseph, MO, as a reporter, but became
the station's Sports Director in less than a year. He spent nearly three years
covering sports in Northwest Missouri before heading south to Lousiana.
Lance
graduated with a degree in electronic media and a minor in journalism from
Evangel University. In his off time, he's probably fishing or hunting. If he's
not fishing or hunting, he's probably watching the St. Louis Cardinals.

Any day, these facts could mean the difference between life and death;
Every 3 sec, someone needs a blood transfusion, that's 16 people every minute, 960 every hour; 23,040 every day, or 8,409,600 every year;
You cannot get AIDS or any other disease by giving blood;
You can give whole blood every 56 days, single platelets every 48 hours, or a single plasma donation every 28 days
Before you can determine what diet and exercise work best for you, it's best to make a couple of quick calculations. Your Body Mass Index (BMI) gives you an idea of where you are compared to others in your height/weight range, while your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) tells you how many calories you naturally burn each day.
With these numbers, you can determine how many calories you need to burn each day for safe, healthy weight loss.
