My Interests

When I have the free time I like to go hiking and generally spend time outside. I am really into music and want to some day be a musician myself. Not to make money or for fame but to entertain myself and my family.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone, I don't have a lot of friends and being a parent with a full time job and a part time one I don't have much time to get out and meet people.

Music:

I LOVE to listen to music. Everything from jazz to some of the angriest metal that has inteligable lyrics. I also am a little bit of a redneck so I like to listen to country. I'm trying to teach myself the bass guitar but am only making slight progress.

Movies:

I am weird because I like cheesy movies with a moral like Josie and The Pussycats for example and dark comedy like Bad Santa. My favotite movie is Dogma and I'v taken a lot of crap about that so feel free to pile on more, I don't really mind. I also like Boondock Saints a lot. It's a great flick.

Television:

I don't watch much TV but when I so it is usually king of the hill, simpsons, and documentaries on PBS. When I can catch CSI Las Vegas I sit and tune everything else out because I like the show a lot.

Books:

I read a lot of Tom Clancy novels because I have a facination with the military and international intelegence. I also try to read a lot of the Redwwall series books. They may be for middle schoolers but they are still cool. A weird one called The Minds of Billy Milligan about a guy with multiple personalities. Hiking and science books, I'm a dork.

Heroes:

My beautiful wife Tina, my son Jack, and my grandpa Ron
