I was one of the members for the Monsters Inc. Opening Crew and also worked at the Soarin' Over California, and The Twilight Zone - Tower of Terror attractions in the Hollywood Pictures Backlot. I was, for a short time, a trainer at Soarin'. I used to work in the Golden State/Paridise Pier section of the park on Grizzly River Run, Redwood Creek Challenge Trail(used to be a trainer), Golden Dreams, and the Sun Wheel.I also officiate sports, including volleyball, baseball, softball and basketball. I volunteer time with the Hesperia National Little League where I have sat on the Board of Directors for 4 years now.

You've been totally Bzoink*d

Music:

I listen to a wide range of music. My favorites are oldies. Most of the 60's and 70's, though I don't do disco. I also like to listen to Ray Charles, CCR, The Eagles, and all other bands in that genre. I also listen to Country, and I do have to say that some groups, with some songs are good. I enjoy Rascal Flatts, Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, and Gretchen Wilson. I also listen to classical music, and even enjoy the rare musical here and there. I HATE Rap and Hard Rock. I can't understand a damn thing those people say.

Movies:

My favorite Drama is one Flew over the Cukoo's Nest. It's a nice little wake up call for the medical practices back in the 60's and 70's. I also enjoyed Ray, Cobb, and The Patriot.My favorite Comedy is Dodgeball. Funny movie, and I enjoy Rip Torn. I also enjoyed Dumb & Dumber, Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back, Napoleon Dynamite, and The first two Home Alone movies.My favorite Romantic movie would be Ghost. I just love that movie. Always makes me wish I was a medium, just like Whoopi.

Television:

I love Family Guy. One of the best shows ever in my honest opinion. I also like the Simpsons, Married...with Children, The Price is Right, Law and Order(the old episodes, none of this Special Victims Unit crap), King of the Hill, The West Wing, Who's Line is it Anyway(both the UK and US editions), King of Queens. I also love Survivor, and I also enjoyed The Mole, before they took it off the air. I'm also started to get caught up in The Amazing Race, too.

Books:

The whole Harry Potter series is an interesting read. For a very emotional and hard hitting book, I recommend "Kaffir Boy" by Mark Mathabane. It is about an African boy learning to live in aparthide South Africa. Drew Carey's autobiography, "Dirty Jokes and Beer" is a funny ass book. For those who every wish to coach a sports team, I recommend "Life Lessons from Little League" by Dr. Vincent M. Fortanasce, M.D., who I have had the chance to meet and talk to. I also read rule books, and study them in detail for officiating.

Heroes:

My parents because they have so little, but yet are able to give so much to everyone. Walt Disney is another of my heros. He was able to communicate to the world with a smile and some magic.
