Music
I love something about virtually every form of music known to man...unfortunately, I couldn't begin to cite all of my favorites. But the "toppermost of the poppermost" is reserved for The Beatles...the line forms behind them. I love it all...just crank it up and have fun! Give me a hot Les Paul, a sweet Strat, bangin' drums, an oboe, or a string quartet and I'm cool all day.
Movies
"Pulp Fiction", Apocalypse Now", "It's A Wonderful Life", "Spinal Tap", "A Hard Day's Night", "Lady and the Tramp", "The Wizard of Oz", "The Last Waltz" and any installment in the "Die Hard" or "Lethal Weapon" series of movies.
Television
Entourage, LOST, The Amazing Race, Survivor, 24, Boston Legal, The History Channel, The Discovery Channel, anything with Dennis Miller, and somewhat ashamedly, American Idol.

"Dispatches" by Michael Herr, "Like A Rose" by Rick Telander, "Songwriting for Dummies" by Jim Peterik, "All You Need Is Ears" by George Martin, "The Beatles - The Biography" by Bob Spitz, "Call of the Wild" by Jack London, and anything by Hunter S. Thompson.
Heroes
Every member of my family, but especially my parents. God, Batman, Superman, Michael Jordan, The Beatles, Bernie Taupin, anyone with the talent and determination to make the world a better place, and the three most creative and talented men that I've ever had the pleasure to call "friend" - Jim Peterik, Rick Telander, and Joel Hoekstra.
About me: I work in rock radio and absolutely love my job. Most days, anyway...I've been around music all of my life and have been fortunate to experience the thrill and blind adrenaline of playing in a rock band. I've met artists and individuals that I never dreamed I would meet and I cherish every memory. I'm single with two cats, Rosie and Sasha (The Girls), love reading, playing guitar, writing songs, listening to music, going to concerts, getting up early, staying out late, caring for the squirrels and birds in my neighborhood, being on the water, and meeting new and interesting people...that rock!
