About Me

You may not know this, but I'm kind of a big deal. I grew up in a small coal mining town, called Hagelworth, Iowa. It was a dirty place to grow up. Lots of stray dogs. I was the youngest of 8 boys. And I hate my brothers, I'm not going to lie about it. We were a competitive bunch... I got my start as an anchorman in Tucson, AZ. I worked there for three years...in the high desert. Then I was called to work in Denver for half and hour, and then I got the call from Ed Harkin in San Diego. Thus beginning my extensive career as a member of the Channel Four News Team. I now reside on an 100 acre ranch north of L.A. I lost 96 acres of that ranch the other day in a game of poker. So I really only have a 4 acre ranch, 3 of those acres are mainly uphill. So I have a one acre ranch, with 100 head of mule. And my dog Baxter. I'm a demon with the ladies. And I dabble with men.

My Interests

Reading the news, playing my Jazz Flute, and I dabble with homosexual experiences, and of course Scotch! I've also been in a few vicious cock-fights, which is always fun! And Warner Wolfe, who I lived with for 11 months...

I'd like to meet:

Tom Brokaw, the cabinent makers at "Mohagany and Co.", Wes Mantooth's mother

Music:

Hall and Oates ~ Kansas ~ Starland Vocal Band ~ Charles Manson and crew

Movies:

Debbie Does Dallas ~ Deep Throat

Television:

Dukes of Hazard, and PBS documentaries

Books:

I have many leather bound books.

Heroes:

My friend Brick for overcoming mental retardation and....Baxter-for surviving that drop-kick over the bridge and for saving me from a pit of ravenous Kodiak bears.
