About Me

I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
If you're visiting my profile, it's probably because you know me already! You know--the kid who hasn't grown up yet (still racing cars, going to rock concerts, playing guitar way too loud, staying up too late, . . .). I'm having the time of my life by giving back to the world--volunteering strategy and organization consulting time to non-profits to help them be great. Very satisfying.But my major passion is Formula Car Racing. I race a Ferrari in the Historic Grand Prix league (check us out at www.historicgrandprix.com) and have another F1 car too. Would do it full time if someone was willing to pay for it all! Actually, I like anything to do with cars--or anything that has a motor in it (snowmobiles, jet skis, planes, etc.). Such a gear head!I am here on MySpace to interact with people who have the same passions that I do--Formula One, car racing in general, car collecting, music, art collecting, wine, travel, fitness, Christianity, and living/loving life in general.I'm happy to be added to your friend list but PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE as to why we should be friends. I'm screening out all the bogus requests this way. If we become friends and you send me a message or comment, I will reply.

My Interests

Formula One car racing, sports and muscle cars, wine collecting, art collecting, international travel, logic puzzles. But, really, a nice evening with friends and some great wine and food (maybe after racing cars all day!).

I'd like to meet:

Have already met so many people . . . who to list here?? Poppy Montgomery (Agent Samantha Spade in the TV series "Without A Trace") and Kiefer Sutherland (Jack Bower in the TV series "24") would make for a great dinner together!

I'm a Ferrari 360 Modena!

You've got it all. Power, passion, precision, and style. You're sensuous, exotic, and temperamental. Sure, you're expensive and high-maintenance, but you're worth it.
"Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.
OK, I'm not one for posting videos usually but this one is hilarious! Take the time to watch it through and I know you'll be laughing so hard you'll hurt!

Music:

Too much to list! What's on my iPod Playlist at the moment? Audioslave, Avril Lavigne, Breaking Benjamin, Chris Cornell, Derek Trucks Band, Imogen Heap, John Mayer, Linkin Park, Pearl Jam, Santana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gwen Stefani, Nickleback, Sheryl Crow.

Movies:

All time favorites--Topgun, The Godfather (all 3 parts), Memento, Woodstock, Final Destination, Meet the Parents (should be Meet the Moellers!).

Television:

Too much to admit here! A mix of reality (Survivor, Apprentice, Amazing Race), action/drama (24, CSI--all, Without a Trace, Lost, Justice, Vanished), and Formula One racing (of course!).

Books:

You Are 28 Years Old
Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax. What Age Do You Act?

Heroes:

People Envy Your Ingenuity
You're a person with unique ideas, big plans, and a zany outlook on life. Many people look to you for inspiration.
People envy your creativity and "who cares?" attitude. They feel very ordinary next to you - and they usually are! What Do People Envy About You?
Your Hair Should Be Blue
Wild, brilliant, and out of control.
You're a risk taker with an eye to the future. What's Your Funky Inner Hair Color?
