About Me

I have a beautiful wife, a wonderful little girl and a baby boy who was born November 22nd 2006. I am into them like there is nothing else on the planet. I love being a husband and a father. I live in Chico California but was born and raised in Campbell California. I graduated from Westmont High School in 1990 (what's up Warriors). I graduated with a BA in Psychology from Chico State in 1995 (totally useless degree). I currently work for a software company doing technical support which is really boring to talk about but I dig it. I am crazy about Apple products and do almost everything on my PowerBook.I spent 8 years in the Army (Infantry) learning to blow stuff up which was great except for the part where you could get killed. I spent another 6 years as a police officer which was great except for the part where you could get killed.I am really into weightlifting and reading books but not together. I play soccer a couple of days a week and I love it. I'm like Pele except I'm not good and not Brazilian. But other than that I am like Pele. I enjoy travel but only to countries that don't have wars going on. I spend a great deal of time playing with my daughter who is way better than me at everything.I am a hard core patriot who loves America. So, if you are a hater then don't talk to me. By the way, Che Guevara was not a nice guy, so take off the shirt already.My parents are from Massachusetts so I am a die-hard Boston Sports fan. I am totally crazy about the Red Sox and on October 27th 2004 I became the happiest man on earth. Thanks fella's, Red Sox Nation rejoices!

My Interests

I love family time the most. Tea parties with my daughter are wild! I like to work out. I love books and know Barnes and Noble employees by name. I love most sports but baseball and soccer are my favorites. I play soccer whenever I can and watch English Premire League matches as much as possible. I am a serious Red Sox fan (see Fever Pitch...that is me) and I think they should import English football to the USA. Go to a ManU game some day and you will know why. I love history, in particular I love WW2 history. These people are your parents and grand-parents. Talk to them about it, you will never meet a greater generation of people. I love anything made by Apple. The iPod is the greatest thing ever. I am into politics and I follow world events closely. I enjoy European style brew pubs. In Chico we make the greatest beer ever at Sierra Nevada Brewing Company. Try it you won't be disappointed. I am very much into BMW'S but I don't own one...maybe soon if my wife lets me buy one. I love clothes (in particular suits) and kick a$$ shoes. Yes, I am straight. I love to laugh, I am the office clown and I am into anyone who is funny.
