About Me

List of things that I've invented: Aluminum Foil, tape, staplers, satellites, wood, replacement shoe laces, cell phones and gum. I didn't take credit for any of them but it's nice to know that I contributed something. I've been in the Navy, I've been out of the Navy. Right now, I'm spending most of my time out of the Navy. And by "most", I mean "all". I pride myself in the fact that I wear pants almost every single day and I rarely forget to brush my teeth. I just got married in December, 20006 and for anyone that knows me, you know what a monumental event that is for me. Mark is to Marriage as a fish is to a hot, dry, desert. But, she's a great woman which I don't deserve so I'll just ride it out until she wakes up one day and comes to her senses. Hopefully that won't be for another 45 years or so and i'll be so senile I won't remember that i'm married anyway. The list of things that are the most important to me in the world are: God / Jesus and my relationship with them, My family which includes my beautiful wife Keeley, my incredible, brilliant, amazing and truly terrific son, Henry, and my absolutely amazing, and awesome son, Dagen.....My other family, (mom, that I love so much, my sister Sarah who is so awesome, my brother Justin, who I wish I could hang out with every single day..), and my other family that consists of my friends of which I have more than anyone deserves, but the biggies, Jeff, Lance, Chuck and Brad, and many many supporting characters... music, my job, and on and on down the list...Oh! and cinammon rolls! I play drums in a band called SuperTuner. We play at Gray Snail all the time, and at a couple of places in OKC. (Baker Street and Tapwerks)I also play drums in one of the bands at church. I've been lucky enough to play with some of the best musicians around. The funny part is, is that I suck! Once again, let's hope they never realize that. I love: Oklahoma Sooner Football, basketball, baseball, etc....boating, camping, frisbee golfing, regular golfing, hiking, video games, playing drums in my band, traveling, grilling out, drinking beer, and whatever else that puts a smile on my face for that day. God is great and has blessed my life!

My Interests

Camping, Kayaking, Canoeing, Hiking, Football, and really any live sporting event....Love music but who doesn't? I've never heard anyone say "man, i really hate music". I play drums in SuperTuner...That's a band, not a grocery store. That would be weird to just sit in the aisle of a grocery store and play the drums. But my favorite thing to do, is anything that I do with my son and my family...whether it's watching a movie, or hiking, or going on a trip...if the fam is there, it's awesome. Unless Tom Cruise is there too. Then it sucks. But luckily that haesn't happened yet.

I'd like to meet:

Jesus, to say thank you, thank you thank you and to tell him to tell his Dad that I'm so sorry he had to do that to his son, and so I could just make sure I'm on the right track. Would love to have lunch with Bob Stoops with the right to ask or say anything. Would love to have a drunken road trip with: The entire Monty Python Cast, the writers of Seinfeld and The Office, Laura Ingraham and Glenn Beck. As far as random people that i'd like to meet....Anyone that is cool that I could go grab a beer with and just have fun talking and laughing. That's it..everything else is negotiable....Funny, cool, and laid back....OH!! And Tom Cruise, Jane Fonda, the ACLU, Ted Kennedy, Rosie O'Donnell, and to be honest, 90% of the Hollywood bunch...just so I could ask them in person, "What in the name of God and all that is holy on this earth......is wrong with you?!!"

Music:

Def Leppard,Cross Canadian Ragweed, Dwight Yoakam, Sister Hazel, Brad Paisley, Evanescence, Beatles, Mozart, Seven Day Jesus, Mercy Me, Nichole Nordeman, Casting Crowns, and everything in between. I love rock and country, and rockabilly, and pretty much any form of music. Not real in to Hip Hop but willing to try it before I tell you that I hate it!

Movies:

Pirates of the Carribbean, Garden State, For Love of the Game, Braveheart, All Monty Python movies, Spinal Tap, 40 Year Old Virgin, Shawshank, all the normals...

Television:

I'm a sucker for Court TV. Love it. Love all the Discovery Channels, and National Geographic Channel. I still LOVE Seinfeld and watch it a couple of times a day. Is there a current network show that I can't live without??? Only one....The Office. The best show since Seinfeld. Oh, and I LOVE MTV......NOT!!! why is it still called that? It should be calle "How To Act Like a Complete Idiot on National TV Channel"....but I guess HTALACIONTVC is too long of an acronym...

Books:

The Bible...Shut Up and Sing by Laura Ingraham, I loved the Left Behind series, I've liked the couple of Bill O'Reiley's books that i've read, Yes I'm a conservative republican but not a closed minded one...I'm perfectly willing to listen to your liberal point of view before I roll my eyes and puke. Kids books - Alexander and the horrible no good rotten day, and I love you this much. It's all internet reading these days though. The book of Scientology should provide some comedic relief.

Heroes:

God, Jesus, my sons Henry and Dagen, my wife Keeley for putting up with me, my mom; she is amazing, my sister; huge heart, love her so much, and my brother; one of the coolest, greatest people I know...and all my friends...J,J,C,L,B..They amaze me on a daily basis without even trying...Pure good. And you don't find that very often these days...
