1.) Like man of you above, I was a band geek in high school! I was a drummer in the marching and concert bands until my senior year in high school.

2.) I swam competitively for a total of 22 years, coached for a total of 10, now SWIM is a 4 letter word, like POOL in my vocabulary.

3.) I haven't been to Japan, but have been to Italy and Hawaii, each twice.

4.) I have a Jack Russell Terrior and my wife has a Beagle. The smartest and dumbest dogs on the planet!

5.) I am scared of sharks...when I was 12, I hyperventilated in the open ocean and basically walked on water back to the boat. Now, I SCUBA dive to get over this fear, but haven't seen a shark in the ocean...YET!

I was in a rock band in High School called "Tap Grandma" (funny story, has to do with Sociology Class and the Messai Warrior, Nomadic Tribe)

I am addicted to coaching baseball and helping kids grow into good citizens.

I have a job that I can't talk much about, or I'd have to kill ya

I battle often with my love for aquaria -vs- my love for sport fishing.

I grew up in the "music industry" and have met people/acts like Aerosmith, The Cars, Three Dog Night, Sony and Cher, the guys from Sha Na Na etc.

1. My father was a classical and jazz composer who worked for the Federal Government (he put together the national Do Not Call List).

2. I grew up in Alexandria, VA (just across the river from D.C.) so watching politics is like swimming to kj

3. My wife makes far more money than i do.

4. I wasn't part of the marching band per se, but i did spin a rifle and saber in my younger years as part of winterguard.

5. I hate fish (eating them i mean :P ), except for a few, but i love catching them for other people to eat.

1. I'm the only son of an only son. Which means this branch of the Tombrello tree stops right here... unless I get to baby-making soon.

2. I moved to Atlanta from Birmingham because they took down the statue of Vulcan. That was the thing that made me realize "you can never go home again."

3. Before saltwater tanks, I had a veiled chameleon. Mean critter she was, and her crickets got all over the house.

4. I have no musical ability, but almost all the women I have dated have has some sort of musical ability.
