Day job: I am IT, baby! Speaking of IT, wanna know the best part about computers? They make very fast, accurate mistakes.

First job: Roadie for Ted Nugent, man. (Seriously, at first I thought his name actually was "Nugentman.") Outta Detroit, Motor City.

Birthday: August 2, Leo, the lion, baby.

Prior bands: Cool Change, Midnight Highway, Showdown. (If you don't count sound checks with Ted "the Sledge" Nugent, man).

First gig: Local park talent show. We won and played Summerfest the week after winning.

Book: Reading, right? (Must remember to sound out the big words.) Actually, love any down time with a good book. (If I could only find some down time, then I'll really be cooking.)

Movie: Austin Powers (all three), History of the World, Part One.

Band: Sucker for '70s classic rock: Boston, REO, Supertramp...also enjoy '80s rock...GARTH!! (Wayne's World and Brooks). I miss country.

Dislikes: Wet toilet paper, warm beer ...basics are important.

Food: mmm, doughnuts. Seriously, anything home cooked, preferably not by me.

Beverage: Corona, tequila...Hola, como estas? Ven aca, mi bebida. Que hora es? Ole!

NFL or ballet?: Go Packers!

If I were an animal: I am an animal.

Hobbies: Golf, cigars, old cars, sittin' around the campfire, kickin' back on a beach.

Season: Summer, if you know what I mean.

Claim to fame: Able to clear an entire room in less than 60 seconds, and I'm not talkin' about just my violin playing.

Brush with greatness: I found a quarter once, right on the sidewalk, right in the open!

Burning question: Why is "brassiere" singular and "panties" plural?

Enjoy: My kids, my friends, my kids' friends (still young enough to listen to a grownup).

Pets: I miss my Buddy.

Embarrassing moment: In what order? Alphabetically, chronologically, by state, by number of people arrested...? Requires an intricate filing system, and a lot of pride!

Prison time served: Which country?
