About Me

Things I enjoy: spending time with my beautiful fiancée Carolyn, dragging a knee at 100mph, watching superbike races (especially live, but on TV is cool too), being in my garage (wrenching on shit, woodworking, just drinkin beer, whatever), drinking good wine with family/friends, going on cruises, lindy hop. I can be intense, but I find myself mellowing out with age. I work hard, play hard, but also appreciate just veggin out doing nothing once in a while. I've got some rough edges, but a good heart, and the friends I value most are the ones who I know will stick with me when shit gets deep.
