About Me


What's up...I'm Kev...35yo...blah blah blah. Originally a Philly boy, I've been living in the D for the last 10 years as a result of my career. I work in automotive and love every minute of it. Wonder what cars will look like in 2012? I could tell you but I'd have to kill you! I'm a hockey/football fan and have season tickets for both the Red Wings and Lions....WAY TO GO WINGS! I'm a huge Jimmy Buffett fan (I go by 'Captain Morgan' on the various Buffett websites) and travel the country averaging 4 or 5 shows a year.This year I'm hitting: Detroit, Cincinnati, Dallas, Las Vegas & MOTM (Key West)


My Interests

I love to travel and have been all over the world. England 3x, Portugal 5x, Germany 3x, Amsterdam, Austria, Switzerland, France, Mexico 14x, Canada (if it counts, it may be the 51st state by now), Jamaica, Puerto Rico and the Cayman Islands. There are still 2 'must do' international destinations before I die, Brazil and Australia. Next up though...Pamana, Belize & Costa Rica in February 2009!!!

I am obviously a music fan and can listen to just about anything as long as I'm having fun and enjoying the company I'm with.

I'm also an avid heads up drag racer and have competed in series in both the US and Canada. My racecar is a '94 Mustang GT pushing around 1000hp and running the 1/4 mile in the 8 second range at around 150mph. Yes, it has a parachute...lol! Here is a video created by one of the series I race in. My car is shown 24 seconds in :)

For every day putzing around I have my '04 Ford Supercrew and a super clean '93 Mustang convertible that only comes out on sunny days. It's a 14 year old car that only has 17,000 miles on it!

I'd like to meet:

There aren't many people I'd like to meet in particular. Famous folk aside, I've already got a great group of friends, some who are on Myspace, some who are not so it's really hard to be greedy in that regard!

Music:



Jimmy Buffett and almost anything by the Coral Reefer Band. Check out Jake on uekelele, he's incredible and the nicest guy to meet if you ever have the chance! Other notables...Jack Johnson, DMB, OAR, Eric the Whaleshark. Old school...Run DMC, NWA, LL Cool J, Public Enemy. 80's...Depeche Mode, The Cure, Echo, etc. It all depends on the mood I'm in!

Movies:

The Breakfest Club and most anything done by John Hughes. Better Off Dead, Pulp Fiction, Clerks, Clerks 2 (it's ok to go ass to mouth!) hell...anything by Kevin Smith...even Jersey Girl if I've been drinking enuff!

Television:

I own a TV...but I can't find the damn remote!!

Books:

I own many...of which I've read most. The others level out the coffee table legs so my beer doesn't spill. My fave read of all time is still Dont Stop The Carnival by Herman Wouk. This year I've read The Art of War by Sun Tzu, Buffett (Warren, not Jimmy) and The Old Man and The Sea, by Hemingway.

Heroes:

My mom...she raised me to be what I am today. Good job mom! :-)

My Blog

What's goin on in my world?

I got a invite a couple weeks ago from 1 of my suppliers to take batting practice at Comerica Park, home of the 2006 American League Champion Detroit Tigers (Yankees and Red Sox who?)! Well, today was...
