My Interests

playing music, teaching music, listening to music, tuning and repairing pianos, hanging out with my two boys, watching movies, football, wrestling, basketball, baseball, watching or participating in any sport (except soccer), fighting, competing in martial arts (MMA,Judo & Ju-Jitsu), lifting weights, watching mixed martial arts like the UFC and PRIDE, cooking, golfing, bowling, target shooting, hanging out at home. I am also a Volunteer Firefighter and licensed EMT.

Music:

Obviously, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool metalhead but, believe it or not, I enjoy all genres of music. From classical to jazz, rap, pop, country, soul, blues, classic rock, you name it. I feel it is important to have a wide range of musical knowledge and I try to encourage others to keep an open mind, musically. For instance, my biggest musical influences are Bach, Beethoven, Niccolo Paganini, John Williams, Les Paul, Roy Clark, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Albert Collins, Danny Gatton, Robert Johnson, Elton John, the Bee Gees and Django Reinhardt to name a few and they are as far from metal as you can get. To draw a comparison, I like pizza, but I don't want to eat it every day...

Movies:

The 6 Star Wars movies, the 6 Star Trek movies, The Matrix trilogy, the Indiana Jones Trilogy, Good Fellas, the Highlander trilogy, A few good men, Troy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, the 2 Ace Ventura movies, Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin, the 3 Police Squad movies, Caddyshack, Snatch, The Departed, X-Files, Me myself and Irene, Conan the Barbarian, Total Recall, the Running Man, the Adventures of Ford Fairlane, Bram Stoker's Dracula, the Austin Powers trilogy, the Wedding Singer, Happy Gilmore, Mr. Deeds, Billy Madison, Hot Shots, Hot Shots part Deux, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill I and II, the Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy, Road House, the Terminator, the 4 Alien movies, Waiting, Just Friends, Anchorman, Saving Silverman and just about any horror movie. I know I omitted a bunch of cool movies from this list...

Television:

I like Family Guy, Rome on HBO, M*A*S*H, American Idol, The Apprentice, Scrubs, the X-Files, The Ultimate fighter on Spike TV, anything on ESPN or the History Channel.

Books:

I'm not much of a book reader. I prefer magazines or "how-to" books.
