I live with my awesome wife and kickass son Jack in a 40 acre estate in rural West Dundee. I lived in Elgin for a very long time and am perhaps the biggest fan of that place. I play songs in a band called The Brokedowns . I used to be a big part of DECAL Productions and they book shows at several venues around the northwest Chicago suburbs including Clearwater Theater . I like to ride my Canadian bike all over the place, but don't ride it as often these days as I'd like to. I'm an either-way-ist. I enjoy being at home with my family, kicking it with my friends, drinking Old Style, learning things, and nerdy stuff. I tend to be caring and compassionate to all living things. I have a kickass job working with some awesome people at Management Recruiters of Elgin on the west side of Elgin. My parents live in Texas. My sister lives in Texas. My brother lives in Colorado. I live in Illinois.

but if they come from the tongue, they will not pass beyond the ears."

"The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable."
-- George Orwell
"Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America is now doing to the evangelical Christians. It's no different. It is the same thing. It is happening all over again. It is the Democratic Congress, the liberal-based media and the homosexuals who want to destroy the Christians. Wholesale abuse and discrimination and the worst bigotry directed toward any group in America today. More terrible than anything suffered by any minority in history."
-Pat Robertson, 1993 interview with Molly Ivins
