Private

Married

St. Louis, Missouri

Wonderful wife and two great kids. All of them redheads.

Graduate of the University of Missouri

To play centerfield for the St. Louis Cardinals. If that falls through, then to reinvent myself for a new career. 

Bill Murray, Bob Gibson

More of a magazine person. Esquire, Rolling Stone, Sports Illustrated ... anything where you find good writing. Not much into fiction.  

A good burrito please.

Kid Rock (seriously!), the late-great Stevie Ray Vaughn, AC/DC, Van Halen (with David Lee Roth, not Sammy or the 3rd singer .. what were they thinking?), Steely Dan, Billy Joel, Red Hot Chili Peppers ... obscure classic rock bands like Triumph and April Wine ... 80's new wave stuff that reminds me of college, The Church, Oingo Boingo, The Psychedelic Furs, Modern English, The Cure. Perhaps "eclectic" is the word here.

Classic comedies ... Animal House, Caddyshack, The Blues Brothers, Stripes, Old School, Wedding Crashers. Action movies with great stoires ... Heat, Braveheart, Man on Fire, The Last Samurai. War movies ... Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket, The Thin Red Line

The Office (yayyyyssh!), Lost, Entourage, Real Sports

Sports! Working out, ice hockey, tennis, playing fantasy sports, pouring over box scores in the newspaper. Doing things as a family, watching my kids experience new things. Photography, I love trying to capture a moment.
