Introduction I like to think of myself as a bit of a renaissance man. I like to learn, create, explore, ponder, and tinker with too many things to mention here. Always curious and adventurous about life, I can't wait to see what's around the next bend in the road.
Interests Where to start. Tree houses, baseball, cheesy movies, dry humor, good books, happy people, video games, a great cup of coffee, a good conversation, and irony to name a few.
Favorite Movies The Crow, It's a Wonderful Life, The Matrix, Escape from New York, Princess Bride, Escape from Alcatraz, To Kill a Mockingbird, anything Bond, Dark Knight, Nightmare Before Christmas, and too many others to mention.
Favorite Music A lot of dirty 80's rock hair bands like Skid Row, Tesla, Motley Crue, original Van Halen, etc. Classic rock greats like Led Zeppelin, The Doors, & Hendrix. New hippies like Lenny Kravitz, Edie Brickell, and Jet. Cheesy music like Bon Jovi, Daughtry, and Nickelback. Punch you in the throat music like Sevendust, Skinny Puppy, Disturbed, Nine Inch Nails, and KMFDM. Lots of nameless blues. Occasionally some weird world music and just about anything else you can think of.
Favorite Books As a kid I read way too much Stephan King but still think it's a nice guilty pleasure. Other mindless fodder includes Anne Rice vampire series, Piers Anthony Incarnation of Immortality series, the origianl Dragonlance Series, anything Edgar Rice Burroughs, and an occasional Bond book by Ian Flemming. Classic lit might include 1984 by Orwell, Of Mice and Men by Steinbeck, some Edgar Allen Poe. Otherwise I seem to spend most of my time buried in a good how to book about anything from faux finishing to building a treehouse.
