About Me

I'm the guy half of your parents warned you to stay away from as a kid.

Ironically enough, I am also the guy half of your parents encouraged you to spend more time around as a kid.

It's just part of the fun of being me.

I was an iconoclast long before I knew what the word meant and I hate the sound of the word.

I like to play with fire as a hobby the same way some people like to bowl as a hobby. Only my league is way more intense.

I like to wake up with a good story to tell in the morning from the night before. It's just the way I am.

Live a little.

My Interests

Fire, pyrotechnics, Comedy

I'd like to meet:

People who bore me with the same long-winded stories, over and over. Yeah, that sounds lots of fun.

Look at the list of my friends. Most of them are pyros or comedians. If you don't enjoy a good joke or a good bonfire, chances are we will not have much in common.

Music:

Tom Waits, Randy Newman, Boxcar Willie, Ry Cooder, Underworld, Gotan Project

Heroes:

I'm a big fan of El Kabong.

Beyond that, I always like to root for the underdog.
