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.
