Spending as much time as possible with my son and my wife. I love making art - painting, sketching, all of it! Art is the most important thing in my life after family and friends. Seriously thinking about a career in children's book illustration. ***Check out my art in My Pics*** I'm a big Red Hot Chili Peppers fan but I love lots of music. Camping, hiking and kayaking is something I wish I could do more than I do. Movies and books are something I really enjoy. Trying new and different food...but I love Mexican and Japanese.

Music
Red Hot Chili Peppers are my all time favorite and have been on their train since 1986. I love music in many forms but don't really care much for most of the country music being made today and a lot of the rap being made today is crap. To list all the bands I like would take up way too much space...from Ataxia to Marley to Zeppelin and all points in between. I'll give most music a fair shake as long as it's good.

Movies
Movies usually all boil down to the director so these are the directors I love -- Guillermo del Toro, David Fincher, Danny Boyle, Quentin Tarantino, Zack Snyder, Michael Gondry, Spike Jonze, Terry Gilliam, Christopher Nolan, The Coen Bros. and Clint Eastwood. Flicks that I dig exceptionally are the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Where The Wild Things Are, Hellboy, Fight Club and Into The Wild. And, like any proud child of the 70s, Star Wars holds a special place in my heart.
Where the Wild Things Are Trailer #2
I watch too much TV!!! Really like LOST, Rescue Me, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Burn Notice, House and The Big Bang Theory. Being a father means a lot of my TV watching is with my son so I've grown to appreciate Yo Gabba Gabba and Wow Wow Wubzy. There used to be this show on Fox called Firefly which was the best but now it's gone....WHY!? WHY!? WHY!? That was a great freakin' show!!! And where's The Muppet Show?

I am a proud comic book geek and I enthusiastically recommend Green Lantern, Hellboy, B.P.R.D. and The Walking Dead.
