Bio (2002): The things I enjoy most in life is good music and good sporting events. Few things are as beautiful as a Yankees-Red Sox matchup on a Saturday afternoon, or a lost Replacements tune segueing into a Velvet Underground classic. You can only imagine what would happen if I saw a Yankees-Red Sox highlights reel, put to a Replacements song.

I am a big music fan, but don't really have a favorite band or artist. I own almost every Clash and Replacements CD, if that means anything. I'm a big film fan, but only own four movies – Bull Durham, The Commitments, Army of Darkness, and The Matrix. I enjoy good writing and think John Grisham should be beaten senseless by one of his own hardcovers. I'm a fan of the spy genre and enjoy Nelson Demille's stuff.

I've got a lot of strong beliefs and convictions, but they're mostly about stupid and unimportant things (i.e., the designated hitter is ruining baseball, weathermen should work on commission, retired people shouldn't be allowed in the mall on the weekends).

Politically, I'm a registered cynic. I believe there's a reason the word "politics" has become a dirty word and has a negative connotation associated with it – because it's a business of liars and cheats. I think the two team system is most of the problem. There should be more teams.

I don't believe in aliens, ghosts, voodoo, the supernatural, palm reading, global warming, or professional wrestling. I think greed, stupidy and boredom run rampant, and is the root of all that is wrong in the world. Yet I am perplexed as to why the greedy, the stupid and the boring, seem to excel in the world.

I'm married to a beautiful girl, have two healthy kids, have a house in the country and a truck. Life really doesn't get any better. Anything more, and it gets complicated. Although, I have found that my list of "things-to-worry-about" has changed dramatically over the past few years. I use to worry about money, my fantasy career, my actual career, my relationship, my health, the ozone layer, and world peace. Now – all I worry about is getting my kids in bed at a reasonable hour so I can sit on the couch in peace and quiet and catch a baseball game.
