About Me

I'm a police officer who spends many hours patrolling the snow covered roadways along the Ontario/Quebec border in Canada. I am a self admitted photo junkie and rarely go anywhere without my camera. This drives my wife nuts, but hey you never know when that Kodak moment will occur. I also spend way way too much time on the computer. This internet stuff is just so addictive. I am also a big fan of 80's hard rock, especially the group Poison. I once told my wife that if we ever won the lottery I wanted to buy a motor home and follow Poison around from city to city when they toured. She knows of course that I'm just kidding (or am I ???).More than anything though, I love just spending time with my beautiful wife and my two precious little boys.

My Interests

Computers, music and photography.

I'd like to meet:

All kinds of interesting people.

Music:

Truth be told, I'm a hard core, stuck in the 80's, rocker. My absolute favourite band is POISON. Some of my favourite CD's are:

I also enjoy music by newer bands like: The Darkness (who sound like old school 80's rock), Sum 41, Green Day, and The Tragically Hip (which should come as no suprise from a guy who used to live in Kingston).I also enjoy other musical styles like John Mellencamp, The Corrs, Dixie Chicks, Shania Twain, Faith Hill, Garth Brooks, The Eagles, and of course...
my good friends: DESERT HEAT (go check out their new CD - it RULES!)

Movies:

The funniest cop movie of all time:

Some of my other favourite movies are:

Goodfellas (Funny...funny how?), the Star Wars series, My Cousin Vinny, Cop Land, The Patriot, the Lethal Weapon movies, the Indianna Jones movies, The Green Mile, the Austin Powers movies (Yeah Baby!), American Pie movies, Police Academy, the Back To The Future movies, Beverly Hills Cop I & II, Happy Gilmour, Interview with the Vampire, the Lord of the Rings movies, Narc, Rain Man, Shanghai Noon, the Shrek movies, the Spiderman movies, There's Something About Mary, Dumb & Dumber.

Television:

I don't watch much TV. When I do I mostly watch the news. I also enjoy Sopranos, Rescue Me, Survivor, Prison Break, That '70's Show, Seinfeld, Curb your Enthusiasm, and Third Watch (damn I miss that show).

...and a funny spoof of COPS called Reno 911.

Books:

Mostly non-fiction: true-crime, police manuals, psychology and self-help books.

Heroes:

My son, who fights every day to do things that most of us take for granted.

Envy Of The Neighbourhood

Now, being confined to a wheelchair, for the most part, is not something that anyone would be envious of. In fact, for many people it would be their worst nightmare. For my son Sacha, a wh...
