Introduction I got the nickname Captain Hairdo from my climbing buddy Mr. Clean... I like to run... I like to ride my bike... I like to climb mountains... I drink way too much beer... My blood runs thick with coffee... I like to drink gin... I am the father of the most amazing boy in the world... I am probably the most liberal, laid back former Marine you'll ever meet... I talk about myself in third person a lot... I am pretty good at a lot of things but not great at much, unless you count procrastinating- I'm a champ at that...
