About Me

My name is Shane. I'm a 31 yr old professional chef. Graduate of Columbus State culinary program. I currently work for a large food service managment company. Columbus has been home for 14 years now. I managed to escape for a couple years and moved to Vermont. I love summer so much I moved to a winter paradise. It was beautiful but I think I will move the other direction next time... if I do ever escape again. Most times I feel like I'm 13 with an important job. I really don't have any mega important things going on besides work and trying to have a good time. I enjoy a good jazz bar, a good scoth on the rocks, the occasional video game session, anything chocolate, playing kickball, goofing off, trying not to take things too serious, funny movies, Phish, being amongst friends, meeting new people, the thought of owning my own business, my king size memory foam built by NASA super bed, sunny and 80, crab legs and a steak, outdoor patios for happy hour, 12 inches of fresh powder, and people that don't bullshit. I'm not asking for much and it really is the little things in life that make my day. Feel free to email me with any concerns or questions

My Interests

I enjoy playing golf in the summer months. I've been thinking of getting my teaching certificate. Cooking for friends.. I guess that one goes without saying. Movies...Blockbuster.com has become my new best friend. I enjoy playing and listening to music. I play the drums in our kickass basement jam band. lol. Actually it's my roommate on the keys and me. Were not so good but it's good for letting the frustrations out. The karoke picture is from a "jam" session. I enjoy most outdoor activities. Hiking, camping, snowboarding. I always try to get down to Hocking Hills a couple times a year.

I'd like to meet:

The Kool Aid Man

Music:

I mainly listen to my sirius radio and Howard in the morning. The programed buttons on my radio are as follows...

1. 70's Channel
2. Howard Stern Channel
3. Hippy Jam Channel (Phish, Dead, Etc)
4. Jazz Funk
5. Hair Nation (80's Glam Rock)
6. Other

Movies:

Blues Brothers is my favorite, Caddyshack, Napolean Dynamite, Spinal Tap, The Big Lebowski, anything with Will Ferrel in it, Wedding Crashers. If you can't tell I'm a comedy kind of guy.

Television:

Isn't it the greatest when for some reason you are home at 11:00 AM on a weekday to see Bob and his Beauties on the Price is Right. It's so rare that you are ever home at that time. It's such a treat now a day.... something I took for granted during my summers growing up as a child. I also like The Learning Channel, Discovery Channel, Comedy Central, The Daily Show, Family Guy, Simpsons, Weeds, Americas Funniest Home Videos (except when Bob Sagget hosts..he's such a douche bag).

Books:

I just finished reading a great book about a 28 yr old guy who decided to retire. He was tired of his job and just wanted to see what retirement was all about. Its called Earlybird , A Memoir of Early Retirement. Easy reading and very funny. The guy was one of Davis Lettermans writers, so the book has a certain sense of humor.

Heroes:

Holy shit! I don't have any heros... no wait. Alf.
