I'm a bit of a boring dude. I'm usually pretty busy with rehearsals and work and don't have much spare time. I've got a pup named Todd. He's sweet and a bit of a knucklehead. Oh... and a wife. Now, I have a daughter too. Her name is Charlotte, and the poor gal looks a lot like her daddy (except for the beard)...


Here's a collection of some of the worst pictures we have of her. Just for fun. ..I love going to movies and plays, beer, chicken wings, gum with long-lasting flavor, camping, beer, video games, traveling... beer... I'm very organized (annoyingly so), and hyper-critical of myself. Give me beer, and I'll tell you all about it. Except... I recently had Lap Band surgery (May 1st, 2007), and I'm not allowed beer anymore. SAD!!! But... it's all for the best. I'm losing weight at a rapid pace, and that's more important to me than beer.I'm the guy that shows up at your party, looks for the most comfortable chair, and plants my ass in it until it's time to go. I'll probably make you laugh some while I'm there, and I won't get in the way. I promise.Oh... and you can keep your potato chips and cheesie poofs and such. But I will have all of your cookies. Thanks.

My Interests

I'm usually pretty busy with rehearsals or performances. But when I've got a free evening, I like to play poker with pals (gotta have fun... no hard core gambling). I enjoy going to the theatre or movies. BASEBALL GAMES! I also just like sitting at home sometimes. Whatever it is I'm doing... it's always better with beer.

I'd like to meet:

KEELEY HAZELL! Or...Someone that wants to hire me to do a job that I don't hate. Anyone? Anyone?Honestly, I'm working hard at my acting career. I don't really want to have a day job. But if I have to... I might as well not hate it. Right?I'm always intersted to meet new people who aren't quick to size me up by what I do for a living. If your first question in meeting me is "where do you work?" I probably don't want to know you.And, of course, Hugh Laurie.

Music:

From Zeppelin to Elton John to Pavarotti. But keep those damn Beastie Boys away from me! I sang a lot of Barbershop and choral stuff in my college days. So I really enjoy me some good accapella harmonies! And much to my wife's chagrin, I'm seriously considering getting back in the barbershop game someday. I won't make her go to performances, but I could use the vocal workout.

Movies:

The Lord of the Rings movies, Raiders of the Lost Arc, Strange Brew, American Movie

Television:

24, Lost, The Office (both versions), House MD, Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe, Extras, MythBusters, Green Wing, Monty Python's Flying Circus, MASH, Jackass, Dogfights, Deadliest Catch, Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Books:

The Alienist, A Prayer for Owen Meany, Pillars of the Earth, Eye of the Needle, Barrell Fever, London, The Gun Seller

Heroes:

Ricky Gervais, Walter Payton, Mike Rowe, Kenneth Brannagh, Hugh Laurie, my Dad (he can fix anything)

Had another band fill yesterday, May 6, 2008.  It's been just a little over a year since my surgery.  It's been quite a while since my last one.  I weighed in at 282 pounds!  Prett...

Been a while!

I know I don't update much lately.  The truth is, things have been going very well.  I'm not dropping weight like crazy any more, but that's okay.  I've been very pleased with my progre...

New benchmark reached!

Just weighed in.  I'm officially down to 293 pounds.  What that means is that I've lost over 20% of my body weight since surgery.  I'm 4/5ths of the man I used to be.  I'm looking ...

Digging through storage...

So yesterday I finally got sick of walking around the Christmas decorations in our back hallway.  They've been down and packed up for about 2 weeks now.  But I haven't had the time to out th...

I still make mistakes.

Been a while since I've updated.  I've been a busy guy. Anyway, I'm a bit over 7 months post-surgery now.  And I've hit another plateau.  I'm standing firm at 300.5 pounds.  Can't ...

60 Pounds Lost!

Got on the scale today before lunch.  I knew I've been doing well since my last fill.  Sure, I've made some mistakes and I shouldn't be drinking beer at all.  But I'm down 60 pounds now...
