About Me

Next stop, Europe.
Born and raised in the Boston area. Was lucky enough to travel to different areas of the world, and still do so. Picked up a degree along the way even though I was told in high school that I would never make into college, let alone graduate. Doom on you! Just goes to show that people grow at different rates. I've never been married but I have been in love. Life is not to be watched from the sidelines, get in the game and enjoy it to its fullest.
I love anything to do with the outdoors which brings me to my three passions in life; cycling, surfing and hockey. Quite a mix huh? Once you catch your first wave, you're hooked for life. There is something quite intoxicating about dropping into a wave. The energy is transfered from the sea, through your board and into your body. Before you know it...you're riding a wave to the shore.
I've seen a Super Bowl Championship, a World Series Championship and now I covet seeing a Stanley Cup brought home to Boston.

My Interests

Surfing (longboard), hockey, cycling (both motor and pedal), skiing, politics, history and random acts of stupidity.

I'd like to meet:

Greg Noll, Jeff Clark, God (but not anytime soon), Gerry Lopez and the perfect wave.

Music:

Classic rock, hard rock, cheesy one hit wonders from the 80's, classical, basically anything but hip-hop and the Britney Spears and clones crap.

Movies:

Too many to name here.

Television:

History Channel, Discovery, ESPN, Fox News, That '70's Show, reruns of Magnum, P.I., NESN, HBO & The Wire.

Books:

Just about any historical or biographical book.

Heroes:

Like my buddy Ando88 says..."They're all dead".
