Favorite Food

Vanilla Ice Cream….Soft Serve….in a cone. If I had to choose something else that isn’t a dessert, I would go with Mongolian BBQ with a little bit of spice.

Favorite Movie

I love series when it comes to movies…”Back to The Future” – “Star Wars” etc… But I also love “Singin’ in the Rain” & “Casablanca”. Nothing scary for me. Which is the exact opposite of my wife. haha

Favorite Music

Matchbox20, Counting Crows, Barenaked Ladies, pretty much 90’s alternative.

What I do in my freetime

Outside of spending time with my wife Jill, my kids Jackson and Annie, and our two Golden Retrievers, I love playing video games. Any Zelda game is far and away my favorite genre or Final Fantasy. On top of that I have also taken up wood working and creating furniture. Throughout the year my family and I can often be found Kayaking, camping or hiking.

Favorite Food

Hands down, my all time favorite food is Pizza. It has all the best ingredients, especially cheese which is another favorite food of mine.

Favorite Movie

My favorite movie is Groundhog Day starring the always great Bill Murray. I know most of the movie by heart and it always makes me smile when I watch it. I’m also big into the the Marvel Cinematic Universe because of how everything connects together.

Favorite Music

I like way too much music to boil it down to a favorite. I mostly enjoy anything from the 70’s to the 90’s, but sometimes you might even find me listening to early oldies from the 50’s and 60’s.

What I do in my freetime

I enjoy playing video games in my free time. I have played all my life, from the original NES to now with the Playstation 4. I also enjoy reading, volleyball, board games with friends, and the occasional jigsaw puzzle.

Favorite Food

Buffalo wings. My folks are from The Nickel City, so I was raised on chicken wings.

Favorite Movie

There are certain movies, which if they’re on TV while I’m channel surfing, I’ll always watch a few minutes of. Step Brothers, Inglorious Basterds and just about any Marvel Movie come to mind. But, if there’s one movie that I’ll call my favorite, it’s The Departed.

Favorite Music

I listen to a lot of rock from The Beatles to Metallica. But I count Stone Temple Pilots as my favorite band.

What I do in my freetime

I have a rescue dog named Duff (after the bass player for Guns n’ Roses) who demands a lot of my time. Other than taking him to the dog park, I like to go to concerts and sporting events.
