About Me

I like to have a good time... All the time! I work hard and play hard. I love my family dearly and am very proud of both my daughter and my wife. Bottom line is I like Life a whole lot and I’m not going to sit on the bench and watch it pass by!

By the way this is why you should not trust IQ tests, I mean everyone knows my IQ is 42.

My Interests

Going to the beach! Camping! Grilling,wave boarding, surfing, Soccer, Tennis, attempting to play the guitar, star gazing (not the holywood kind, I like the ones in space) playing with my daughter and keeping my wife on her toes!

I'd like to meet:

Paul Masson... or at least his saint bernard. To do research on Paul Masson visit your nearest American Business College, if you live in North Carolina. In the mean time let me introduce you to my friend from Austin Texas!

I would also like to meet Gene, the guy who ROCKS on the Cow Bell! More Cow Bell Please!

Music:

Live, Primus, dada, Kenny Wayne Sheppard, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Michael Gurley, Eric Johnson, Christopher Parkening, John Williams, Cold Play, Radio Head, U2 (pre 1990), REM Pre "Out of Time", Police, Weird Al, Metallica, John Mayer, James Taylor, Presidents of the United States, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Marcy Playground, Dave Matthews Band, The Cure, Depeche Mode, They Might be Giants, 10,000 Maniacs,Frank Zappa, Rush, Days of the New, Butterfly Jones, Michael Gurley and the Nightcaps, (Yes, you read that correctly there are three Michael Gurley Bands in here, dada, Butter Fly Jones and the Nightcaps, thats b/c he is one heck of a guitar player!)

Movies:

UHF, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Napoleon Dynomite, Harold and Kumar go to White Castle, Strange Brew, The Incredibles, Monty Python, Indiana Jones, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Tommy Boy, Goonies, Waynes World.

Books:

Given my short attention span, books are not something that I tend to read very often. However, I have read all of the Harry Potter series, Falling Up, How to eat Fried Worms etc. Basically if it was written for someone around 12 years old im typically ok, after that im just not smart enough to keep up.

Heroes:

Chuck Colon M.D., Andrew Bohn M.D., Paul Orland M.D., Carmine Dalto M.D., Thomas Verville M.D., all of the nurses, Nurse assistants, radologists and staff at Presbyterian Matthews and Charlotte that saved my life. Volunteers for the American Cancer Society, My Dad the Marine, and the United States Armed Forces.
