Television:

I don't have time to watch much TV at the moment.. but I'm biased and think the shows I'm hosting are great! The action adventure series "Destination Wild" on Fox Sports Net (FSN) & the automotive weekend "Powerblock" on Spike TV

Books:

Mere Christianity (the title is misleading & turns people off..It's an amazingly profound book & CS Lewis is a genius..), The Fountainhead, Letters From a Skeptic, The Giving Tree, The Grapes of Wrath, Catcher in The Rye, On The Road, The Bible...& the automotive book I just wrote, pictured here.

Heroes:

Many heroes. My aunt Barbie tops them all. She had Cerebral Palsy and was the most positive, altruistic and inspiring person on Earth. I adored her.. She went to Heaven on August 25, 2007. I love you, Barbaroo.The "Destination Wild" production crew. Aren't they a good looking bunch?A day on the "Powerblock" set Snowmobiling with "Destination Wild" in WY A day on the "Powerblock" set with one of my favorite cars.
