About me

I was born in Culver City, California in the hospital where actor Jeff Chandler died. That's what my Dad says anyway.
I was born September 28th, 1961. That is the day before Roger Maris broke Babe Ruth's single season homerun record. So, the Babe's homer record stood for one day in my lifetime.
I am left handed. I grew up wanting to be a baseball player. That dream fizzled. I did however run a succesful baseball card store and promoted shows with many famous celebrity guests.
I am seperated from my wife. We had five children together. I am dating a girlfriend who is twenty years younger than myself.
I am a non-smoker, but not a smoking Nazi. I let my friends smoke around me.
I drink socially but moderately. I like margaritas, Jack n Coke, and beer with my pizza.
I drive tours for my Mother's tour business. I am a handyman. I have about a dozen published magazine articles in various genre.
I love to go to big league baseball games. I like fishing, but don't get out to do it as frequently as I would like. I love driving. I have driven in all 50 states and Canada. I have over a million miles experience.
I like Coca Cola, and I cannot stand Pepsi. My favorite food is a homegrown and vine ripened tomato. Never ever refrigerated. I like them washed, sliced, salt and peppered. Yum!

My Great Aunt Frances sent me a birthday card on my 13th birthday. Below the usual birthday wishes, she wrote: Nephew, never lose sight of your dreams!

I have always held these words close to my heart. In whatever task or endeavor, I have made it a point to never lose the focus of my goals. Anything I undertake, is measured against my hopes and dreams. If I cannot see a way or a means to achieve what I want, I choose a different path.

My Mother also has many times over the years shared with me her wisdom. She passed a quote on to me that goes like this: Any man is capable of doing any...
