Geoffrey Huchel – Feature Entertainment Writer – Massachusetts
Born and raised in Massachusetts, Geoffrey Huchel is the proud dad to a teenage son, whom he describes as an intelligent and talented young man with a bright future ahead of him. Mr. Huchel devotes most of his time taking care of others, but he makes sure he finds time for what he’s truly passionate about. He considers himself a pop culture enthusiast, who from a young age has loved the arts. Besides music and television, movies are what Geoffrey finds the most joy in as he explains: “For two hours you can escape from the real world and become part of the lives of these characters as though you are right there with them, feeling what they feel whether its happiness, sadness, fear…”
Although he enjoys all genres, he gravitates toward horror and mystery. He also appreciates the films from Hollywood’s Golden Age and at times wishes he could have been around during that period to appreciate them in real time. In addition to spending time with his family and close friends, he can be found writing children’s books, short stories and screenplays. Geoffrey recently became a published children’s book author. You can order his book HERE.
Diane Batshaw Eisman, M.D. FAFP – Feature Entertainment Writer – Florida
Doctor Curmudgeon® is a Family Practitioner, writer, voiceover artist, and medical educator who practices in Aventura Florida. It was in the Neolithic Era that the Doctor became renowned for expertise in Trephination. After so much time in practice, Doctor Curmudgeon® is now cranky and has rightfully earned the honorific of Doctor Curmudgeon®
Doctor Curmudgeon® has no idea of what will appear in this space. It depends on the Good Doctor’s mood and whatever shamans. Physicians, literary, political or philosophical figures (living or dead) are channeled at the moment.
Her undergraduate years were completed at the University of Chicago, where she was an Early Entrant.
The Chandler Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky at the University of Kentucky handed over her medical degree and gave her further training.
She has served on too many to count hospital committees, is in private practice with her husband, Dr.Eugene Eisman, MD FACP, an internist-cardiologist, and has been named a Distinguished Practitioner in the National Academies of Practice.
Having been an Army wife, she has great respect for all those who serve and have served.
Through many years of practice, surviving changes and an innate sense of justice, she has become cranky. Therefore she lays claim to the title of Curmudgeon.
Her views are her own, and some may really brighten up your day. It’s just a conversation…

Ron Signore Jr – Feature Social Issues/Sports/Entertainment Writer – Ohio
Ron was born in 1985 in a small suburb outside of Chicago to hard working and blue-collar parents. It was that instilled work ethic that drove many of his accomplishments in life to date. A three-sport high school athlete that went on to play college football for a year at a Chicagoland DIII college, broke his ankle for what was the 3rd time and transferred out to Purdue University. At Purdue, Ron would go on to earn a degree in Political Science and minor in History. Most importantly, he met the love of his life and mother of his 3 children who mean more to him than anything.
Graduating from Purdue in 2009, Ron was lucky enough to come out of college with a job as an entry level sales rep for a technology company in Addison, Il. He took that job and grew his career within the office technology industry for 5 years before becoming leadership and relocating his family to Nashville, TN.
The opportunity in Nashville opened his eyes to the differences of political ideology, not just from a Republican and Democrat side, but more of the extreme sides that evolved hatred within their beliefs. After 3 years in Nashville, opportunity arose in Columbus, OH, and he returned to the Midwest.
Leadership is a huge interest for Ron. Practicing leadership like a doctor practices medicine or a lawyer, law, Ron has read many books and followed the likes of many key leaders such as Jocko Willink, Michael Jordan and many others as the spectrum for how to lead effectively is wide.
Outside of his day job as a SaaS sales leader, he is an avid White Sox, Blackhawks, Bulls, and 49ers fan. He loves placing the occasional college football wager. Though he has a very eclectic taste in music, you will most often hear Dave Matthews Band, Pearl Jam or Bruce Springsteen in the background. He has been blessed to be positively influenced by his extremely admired parents as his key role models. From a political perspective, he not only gets his blue blood from them, but grandfather who was a prominent member of the firefighter’s union and his uncle who consistently challenges his thoughts on politics.
Since 2021, Ron weathered the storm of a pandemic corporate world, arrived at junctions in his life that helped drive his passion to create better opportunities for future generations, fighting for fundamental rights everyone should have, fighting hypocrisies the world provides, and doing all he can to grow in every facet in his life, most importantly fatherhood and as a husband.
Sharon Synowsky – Feature Social Issues Writer – Pennsylvania
Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Sharon is the widowed Mom of two amazing young men. Sharon has lived five lifetimes (so far!) in her years on Earth. She has been a reporter, bartender/manager, paralegal, stay-at-home Mom, and is now the research administrator for the Governmental Affairs department at a POTW.
Sharon’s evolution from someone who paid little attention to politics into a political junkie happened instantly. January 6, 2021, opened her eyes to the need to be more attentive. Her father’s death from Covid three days later motivated her to become an avid activist. This is what led her to being asked by “Bad” Brad Berkwitt to join his writing team on Ringside Report.
Sharon has varied interests and hobbies, including writing, painting, reading, driving, and getting lost in research (she falls into many rabbit holes, but always comes out with something!)
She hopes to entertain, educate, and motivate through her articles.
