I write and perform pop/rock music, and have actually won an award for one of my songs (quite the high that was). I also enjoy skydiving, working out, clubbing, hitting the karaoke bars once in awhile, spending time with my family, helping my brother race his dragster, having cuddle time with my precious fuzzy ferrets, playing softball and soccer, rollerblading, jogging, performing as a pro-wrestler (Powerhouse Pro Wrestling--an independent pro-wrestling organization based in Wisconsin), and following NHL hockey.
Every member of the 1980 US Olympic Hockey team.
I'm a singer/songwriter/bass player for Random Maxx, a pop/rock band based in Milwaukee. My influences include the Barenaked Ladies, the Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox20, Chicago, Queen, the Cure, and basically any melodic and danceable tune from the 80s.I'm into pop/top40 and retro; no country or rap for me, thanks.I also enjoy some classical music. My all-time favorite work is Beethoven's 7th Symphony, followed closely by Piano Concerto No. 1 and his 5th Symphony. Other composers on my list of favorites include Mozart (40th & 41st Symphonies), Aaron Copeland (Appalachian Spring--now there's a work that will put goosebumps on your goosebumps), and Gustav Holst (The Planets, 1st and 2nd Suites for Band).
Miracle--what a movie. I could watch it 100 times and still not be tired of it. Enjoyed Rocky Balboa a lot. Other favorites of mine include Signs, Pump Up the Volume, The Shawshank Redemption, A Time To Kill, Minority Report, Happy Gilmore, AI Artificial Intelligence, and just about any cheesy 80s movie you can think of.
Cheap Seats, Penn & Teller Bull$***, Deal or No Deal, Man, I'll tell ya what man, get dem dang ol' King ol' Hill man, talkin' bout dem Alamo beers in Texas, man, and cheesy retro-television on channels like Nickolodeon and TV Land
Books? Books are too educational. Do not read. This has been a public service message.
My hero? My older brother. Here's a guy who spends every minute of his life giving, giving, and giving until it hurts... then giving some more. He's a DARE cop in the greater Chicagoland area, and takes his Quickrod dragster to schools to show kids what they can do for fulfillment instead of getting into trouble. I often contemplate on the differences between his career and mine, and the difference in nobility just flattens me and squeezes every speck of pride out of me. Me, I've done well for myself. My brother? He's doing well for others.
