Proud Uncle Mike

It's not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog.

About Me

I am currently loving life and taking full advantage of everything it has to offer. L-I-V-I-N'!!!! I treasure everyday and have worked hard for everything I have, nothing was ever just handed to me. Luckily I have a career in Sales and Marketing that I enjoy, I'm good at, and it provides enough for me to live comfortably while still having extra in my pocket for some fun. I consider myself sort of diverse but at times I'm just a typical guy. I am a guys guy at heart with a passion for cars, cigars, sports, whiskey, grunting like Tim Allen, football (DA' BEARS!) etc but I can also appreciate some of the more refined things in life like wine, art, fine dining, and literature.

My Interests

I will try just about anything but for the most part I can be found bass fishing, playing poker, shooting pool, throwing darts, having a cigar, just hangin' out with the guys, trying to catch up on the DVR/Netflix, random last minute adventures, visiting Total Wine, or up to some sort of cheeky shennanigans

I am always up for an adventure and spontaneous road trips with great friends are always a blast. Have you ever mini-golfed on a closed course with the sprinklers on in Cocoa Beach after watching the Sun come up and having breakfast with your amigo at a kickin' Greek place? If not, I suggest you give it a try.

I'd like to meet:

Steve Young, David Banner, Vince Vaughn, and people that ROCK!

Music:

I will give anything a listen once and most of the time will either like it or find some aspect of it I can appreciate.
I listen to country, rock, rap, hip-hop, dance, classical, folk, swing, blues, jazz, top 40, etc, etc, etc

Movies:

Swingers, Boondock Saints, Poolhall Junkies, Rounders, Gone in 60 Seconds (both of them), Dazed and Confused, Braveheart, Super Troopers, Super Bad, to name a few

Television:

Rescue Me, Nip/Tuck, South Park, The War at Home, Rob and Big, Rules of Engagement, UFC, CSI: Vegas, The Big Bang Theory

Books:

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Positively Fifth Street, The Average American Male, Bust, and anything by Stephen King

Heroes:
