Wipe that smirk off your laugh!

About Me

Not sure what else to put up here other than I am a graduate of Lewis University and a Sales and Marketing Manager for Rigging and Lifting Equipment Rental/Lease and Sale company just south of Chicago. It's been a great experience working for a company that is growing by leaps and bounds every day - and a whirlwind at the same time... but I love my job and the people I work with. I look forward to getting up and going to work everyday because of who I'm around, and I wouldn't trade it for anything
I am a very energetic, enthusiastic and sarcastic person - just talk to me for 5 minutes and you'll get the idea. I'm very straightforward, and I call it like it is. I don't have time, or the want for any drama in my life. I can smell bullshit a mile away, and won't be afraid to call you on it - (99.9% accurate)
I play rugby for the Chicago Riot - A brand new team to the city. I played a bunch in high school, then life happened and I fell away from it. Now that I have the time to do it, I'm back into game shape, and having fun with it again!
I am a raging Chicago Sports fan - except for the Sox... The Fairweather "World Series Sox Fans" have driven me to hate the people and the team altogether... personal choice :) My loyalty runs for the Orange and Blue - yes, the Chicago Bears. I've had season tickets with some friends of mine for a number of years, and I make it a point to be at EVERY game - or at least watch it from start to finish. This includes waking up at 4 AM on gameday to make my way down to the lakefront to fire up a few grills and create some culinary masterpeices. (Believe it or not, We're well known in the North Endzone at Soldier Field for the food we crank out)
.... Recipes have been laid down and one of my best friends and I are in the process of writing and publishing a cook-book.

My Interests

I'm a simple guy. Anything that involves a good time, you'll usually find me there.

I'd like to meet:

Man - so many... I really would love to meet Emeril Lagasse or Bobby Flay... Jen Patterson from the Score.

Music:

Having previously worked at a radio station, I listen to just abut everything, as long as its not country or headbanging stoner metal.Actually, its a shock I was never kicked off the air for some of the material that I had on my show. LONG LIVE THE V.O. and B.O. Show!!!

Movies:

Forrest Gump is ..1 on my list. I'll watch anything that will make me laugh so hard my stomach hurts. Dodgeball, Planes, Tranes and Automobiles, Super Troopers... You know, that good stuff. At one time, I was a slave to Blockbuster, so I've seen my share of movies. Comedy is #1 on the list, but I'll let myself settle down for a good action/drama thriller..

Television:

Seinfeld, Family Guy, That 70's Show, King of Queens, SportsCenter (typical guy, I know) Knights of Prosperity, Spin City

Books:
