| Introduction | I'm a retired professional hockey equipment manager and my career took me across the country and back, from Phoenix, Arizona to Evansville, Indiana (with many stops in between). I worked for 10 professional hockey teams in 7 different leagues (and in 7 different states). Along the way, I met a lot of great people and saw things I never thought I would. I'm not wealthy, but I wouldn't trade my experiences for anything in the world. Now I spend most of my time working on the novel I always promised I'd write about my experiences in the game of Hockey. |
| Interests | Hockey, music, baseball, golf, history, and movies (especially movies about hockey, music, baseball, or history). |
| Favorite movies | Casablanca, Slap Shot, Saving Private Ryan, Bull Durham, Miracle, and Mystery, Alaska (to name just a few). |
| Favorite music | I'm a Desert Dogg and love my Tempe bands, starting with The Refreshments, Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers, and The Gin Blossoms. From the rest of the world, I love many types of music, ranging from Alternative to Metal to Classic Rock to Country. I've even been known to listen to some hip-hop on occasion. Pretty much whatever strikes my fancy. |
| Favorite books | Anything by Tom Clancy, Stephen E. Ambrose, Stephen King, or John Grisham, to name a few. I'm very into biographies. Some favorites include Travis Roy's "Eleven Seconds", Dave Dravecky's "Comeback", and "Baa Baa, Black Sheep", by Gregory "Pappy" Boyington. |
