"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well preserved peice, but to skid across the finish line broadside, worn out, leaking oil, shouting...GERONIMO!"

Just you're average guy. I'm an outgoing, friendly, talkative (sometimes too much I'm told), loyal, fun-loving goof-ball. Likes to be outside having fun or just lounging or working around the house. I love to travel and spend time with friends.

Oddities: I don't care what people think of me, I'm a long time New Orleans Saints fan, I like the smell of new tires, I'm addicted to Diet Mt. Dew, getting dry eyes totally grosses me out, I collect shot glasses...but only the tall ones, I like grape jelly & fried egg sandwiches, I actually enjoy going shopping but rarely buy, I'm a chronic channel flipper, I'm an eBay addict and I have an affinity for mooses.

I absolutely love racing (Thanks Dad!) I practically grew up in the front seat of my Dad's push truck at Selinsgrove Speedway. When I was 13 I became a "gopher" for Bill Glenn's 11G sprint car team. After several years of helping him, he retired and I spent a year chasing the Pa Posse to all tracks around the state and country. Bordem started setting in just watching races, so I started my own career in go kart racing in 1996. While I was starting in karts I also helped out my friend Jeff with his kart and micro sprint. In my 10 years racing I won 75 races and 2 track championships. After the 2005 season I hung up my helmet and went back to being a mechanic, this time on a micro sprint driven by my friend Ken Duke. If your interested, feel free to check out my website to learn more about my racing career.

WHAT IT'S LIKE TO FLIP A SPRINT CAR!!

When it's not racing season, you can usually find me in a bar with friends on a Saturday night rocking out to a local band. I am a die hard rock fan and love to hear it live. And I love to support local music. The little known band you see in your favorite dive tonight could be the next band to sell out Madison Square Garden. I love going to the Cell Block in Williamsport. Most fun you can have for $2 on a Saturday night. They get lots of great bands, but the band I enjoy the most is the Poptart Monkeys. Been a loyal Monkey Junkie since 2000. Those guys totally rawk...check 'em out!

I'm engaged to a wonderful gal named Angelia that I have been with since August of 2002. She is the light of my life. She has 2 kids named Mike and Amanda, that although they are a handful...I really enjoy having them around.

We were the proud parents of several wonderful ferrets over the years. I had always wanted one...however I wasn't aware of the concept of "Ferret Math". Ferrets are kinda like Lays Chips..."You can't have just one". Check out my ferrets at the link below!
