CINCINNATI -- I once tried to start a line of sportswear about a dozen years ago.

I always kept a box of hats and shirts in the trunk of my car, because you just never know who you might see walking across the Roebling Suspension Bridge as you're driving by on a busy weekday afternoon.

But despite a hectic traffic scene, I pulled off to the side when I spotted FOX19 anchor Rob Williams, popped the trunk, grabbed a shirt and introduced myself to the local celebrity and gave him the shirt, hoping he'd rock it at the gym and give me a little brand recognition.

Like many of my hair-brained schemes over the years, however, make*a*move failed as a line of sportswear, but what did succeed was my ability to stay in touch with people, and Rob was gracious enough to offer to interview me when I sent him my pitch via email last week.

So here's Tuesday's interview with Rob Williams. You can tell I'm getting more comfortable with these otherwise nerve-wracking events, as I can only count one and a half nose twitches during the entire segment.
