Interests

  • General

    There are five things I like to do more than anything else: Work out at the gym, watch the Boston Red Sox, spend time with my pets and my friends, eat delicious food until I'm almost sick (which is not something I allow myself to do that often), and watch movies, particularly ones courtesy of the wondrous invention that is NetFlix.

  • Music

    Though I highly doubt a dorky guy from Maine such as myself would ever be able to achieve much street cred from those within the industry, I'm a big fan of hip hop music, particularly old school rap. Run DMC is my all-time favorite, of course, while T.I. and Jay-Z are a couple of my more modern favorites.

  • Movies

    I'm pretty passionate about movies. Some of my favorites include:

    ~2001: A Space Odyssey
    ~3:10 To Yuma
    ~A Mighty Wind
    ~Audition
    ~Boogie Nights
    ~Cinderella Man
    ~Downfall
    ~Magnolia
    ~National Lampoon's Vacation
    ~Open Your Eyes
    ~Rocky
    ~Rocky Balboa
    ~Solaris
    ~The Exorcist
    ~The Pianist
    ~There Will Be Blood

  • Television

    Currently, The Office and Family Guy are probably my two favorites, though nothing in this world matches up to Boston Red Sox games on NESN!

  • Books

    In the immortal words of Tom Arnold, "Reading is for queers!"

  • Heroes

    Heroes? You mean besides Matt Lindsay? Well, there is this fictional boxer that you might have heard of ...

    "I gotta go out the way I gotta go out."


    "Get up you son of a bitch! 'Cause Mickey loves ya'!"


    "I'm a fighter. That's the way I'm made, Adrian."


    "He'll knock ya into tomorrow, Rock."


    "They ought to outlaw southpaws!"
    "Why didn't you tell me that before?"
    "I didn't want to hurt your feelings."


    "He doesn't know it's a damn show. He thinks it's a damn fight. Now finish this bum, and let's go home."

About me:

My best friend is an ornery, three-year-old shetland sheepdog named Tek. Tek can usually be found at my side, vying for my attention. I also have an adorable, trouble-seeking kitten named Crab Rangoon.

Recreational bodybuilding is probably the best thing in my life. I absolutely love to work out and improve my physique. My genetic shortcomings will prevent me from ever becoming huge or "jacked", but I do the best I can with what nature gave me. I really can't imagine my life without the gym, nor would I want to.

I am a huge Boston Red Sox fan, and absolutely love to follow the team each year. Each season is full of ups, downs, excitement and stress. Like most of New England, my favorite player is David Ortiz.

I am also a big fan of all things Rocky! I've loved the movie series nearly my entire life, and continue to learn about the franchise, annoyingly hum its many themes, quote the wisdom of its characters, and, of course, watch and re-watch any of the six installments whenever the mood strikes me ... which, frankly, is pretty often.

I have my bachelors degree from the University of Maine, and am very slowly chipping away at my masters degree, as well. I am seldom out of school entirely for any length of time, as I find it's the best way to avoid paying back my student loans. Whether I'll ever truly "use" one of my degrees remains to be seen.

Finally, I work full-time with the elderly, and part-time at a local animal shelter. Both jobs are trying, rewarding, and extremely dear to my heart.

Who I'd like to meet:

Jerry Stiller, Jim Rice, Howie Mandel, Sylvester Stallone, and Terry Francona.
