About Me

What can say about myself other than I am not your average guy. I collect and wear vintage clothing from the 1930's-1960's, love to decorate, dance, build and race go karts, restore cars, create things with my hands. Yes, I'm staight!I'm a pretty straight forward guy. What you see is what you get. I say what's on my mind and answer any questions honestly weather it offends people or not.

My Interests

Lindy hop(Dean Collins style), savoy style lyndy, Balboa/Bal-swing, racing go-karts, restoring classic cars, dancing with my wife, vintage clothing, going honky tonkin with my friends and traveling around the country going to dance workshops.

I'd like to meet:

Other dancers who want to learn as much as I do. People who can appreciate classic cars, muscle cars, custum cars, and hot rods. People who are doing what they love for a living. Dave Ramesy the financial genius. People who want to race my 55 mph go-karts.

Music:

Of course I love swing music, that's a given. Other loves include No doubt, The reverand Horton Heat, anything Rockabilly, green day, old school country(I mean 1930's-1970's. Not this pop country crap). Blues, classic rock, Elvis, Black Eyed Peas.

Movies:

Believe it or not I like musicals, and classic movies with crooners, greasers and brawlers. I love watching comedies the most. Any movie with a cool car in it(not the Fast and Furious movies) like: Smokey and The Bandit or Gone In 60 Seconds.

Television:

Rescue ME, The biggest loser, Medium, Lost, Heroes, The Dukes Of Hazzard, The A Team, any thing on the Discovery channel or The Learning Channel. Mind Of Mencia and the Dave Chappelle Show on Comedy central.

Books:

Mere Christianity by C.S. lewis, Rich Dad/Poor Dad by Robert Kiasomething asian, A Ready Defence by Josh McDowell, Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey

Heroes:

Nick Williams(dancer), Dean Collins(dancer), Bobby White III(dancer), Marty Lou, David Rehm.
