About Me

I grew up in Minnesota, but I have lived in North Alabama for about 22 years. It is much nicer to be able to visit the snow and freaking cold once in a while than it is to have to live with it for half of the year. I have worked at a Honda dealership ever since graduating from the University of Alabama in Huntsville way back in 1991. My youngest child just finished her freshman year of college this spring, and my son is a senior in college. So, at the ripe old age of 38, I am already an "empty nester." I have been to Europe a couple of times. I have visited most of the contiguous United States. And when my wonderful children become self-sufficient, I will do my best to see the rest of the world.

My Interests

I love to travel. Whether it be a weekend jaunt to see a ballgame or a concert or a week long vacation soaking up the culture and scenery of a cool metropolitan area here or abroad, I enjoy being elsewhere. When at home I like to go out, listen to live music, go to movies, watch or participate in sports, play hold em, and just about anything else i can get into. And if i run out of fun things to do, i can always rely on certain friends to get me to try new things like painting or horseback riding.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet Pat Robertson, Osama Bin Ladden and every other fanatical Christian, Muslim and Jewish religious zealot for a latte in the Holy Land and ask them where in the hell they came up with the idea that God wanted them to hate other people and kill them in His name. I mean, really, they all believe in an omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, and perfectly good God, yet they act like he needs their blessed help to set the world "right" or something. Other than that I would like to meet Rachel McAdams in hopes that she digs short, older guys with kids her age.

Music:

I listen to many different types of music. I guess I am partial to indie and alt rock. These are the last few concerts I've seen: The Strokes, Death Cab, The Format, Foo Fighters, Incubus, Green Day, John Mayer, Maroon 5, The Killers, Bright Eyes, Jimmy Eat World, Blink, and Dwight Yoakim. My biggest concert regret is that I never got to see Rage Against the machine live and in person.

Movies:

I have seen and enjoyed way too many movies to pick out just a few. But my favorite directors are: Woody Allen, Stanley Kubrick, Chris Nolan, Quentin Tarantino, Tim Burton, The Cohen Brothers, and David Lean.

Television:

I watch sports, uncut and uninterrupted movies, very little news other that The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, Lost, Adult Swim, more sports, Seinfeld reruns, Entourage, Bill Maher and some History and Science stuff. There is also (regrettably) a smattering of reality tv thrown in the mix as well.

Books:

I enjoy fiction much more than non-fiction. My favorite novelists are Umberto Eco, Robertson Davies, E. L. Doctorow, Michael Crichton, Orson Scott Card, and Phillip K. Dick. I have read many of the classics as well.

Heroes:

In the immortal words of Tina Turner as she sang for the sound track of "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome;" "We don't need another Hero."
