I still love a good beer.

I also enjoy getting out into the mountains and hiking, backpacking, and summitting mountains. I particularily am a fan of the San Gorgonio Wilderness, and have summitted "Greyback" several times, and will keep doing so for some time to come. I love that mountain.
My winter sport of choice is snowboarding, though I'm not much of a trickster, I'm more into long fast carves and when the conditions are good for it, getting off the main runs and out into the trees and valleys.
I enjoy kickin' back at a pub or blues bar, tossing back a brew and some grub and seeing a good band play. Two of my favorites for this are "The American Wake" or "Cafe R&B" both of which I've seen play in a variety of venues ranging from dive bars in Santa Monica to the Ritz Carlton in Pasadena. Always a good show any way you stack it.
I like to get out of town and up into the mountains on a somewhat regular basis. I've been heading into the local mountains, Big Bear in particular, pretty much as long as I can remember, and I love it up there. Every season has something to offer. You have the snow sports in the winter, hiking and boating, fishing, etc in the summer. I've always enjoyed learning more about the history of the area as well. It's always amazing when you learn what people were cabable of doing 100 years ago or more when the place was nearly inaccessible.
I'd like to make time in my future to go work with a wing of the CAF (Commemortive Air Force) on restoring and maintaining old aircraft. I love aviation and I've got a special place in my heart for old warbirds. So many of these planes have histories that go far beyond wartime, and being able to see them capable of flying is incredible, seeing them in flight is even more incredible.
