About Me

I'm me, otherwise I'd be someone else and that would be weird. I'm usually a pretty low-key person and I value my sense of humor very highly. I'm also a great listener and am the type who wants everyone to get along and stay focused. I'm also very passionate, sincere and I really know what I like...my wife Melissa (derrr), doggies (miss my childhood dog Marco!!), Cherry Coke, gummy bears, ambient electronica music and Mickey D's fries...yes, all at the same time :) ONE THING you need to know about me is that I'm a devout Catholic. My faith was renewed by a youth ministry movement I discovered in 1996 called LIFE TEEN (www.lifeteen.com) which originated from St. Timothy's in Mesa, AZ. It had just started up at my church St. Augustine's in Culver City, CA. I started off in the band for the LT Mass (with my wife Melissa), then, several years later I became a volunteer youth minister. I've been doing double-duty ever since. I've learned so much about my faith and have made some lifetime friends in the process. Praise God!! HEY. THERE'S NO section in these profiles for sports. In that case, I am a die-hard Washington Redskins fan since I was born and raised in the D.C. area (for twenty-some-odd years of my life). I became an NBA fan when MJ came out of retirement the first time and wore 45 on his jersey for the Bulls (I even bought a nerf hoop & ball with a cardboard cut-out of MJ as the backboard). That automatically made me a fan of Phil Jackson so, when I heard he was going to coach the Lakers, I became a big Laker fan. We all know what happened the following 3 seasons, right? Yeah. I'm still a Laker fan. Phil's coaching them again so, we'll see how it goes. THERE'S A LOT MORE about me to know but, you'll just have to ask me :)
