My Hobbies:
I am a huge sports fan, mainly football and baseball. I love traveling especially to Las Vegas because it doesn’t snow and I can gamble and play golf. Yes I love golf, it’s an excuse to drink beer. Working out when I get the chance, but most of the time I am moderately overweight and I am ok with that.
My Music:
Metallica is my favorite. Slipknot is a close 2nd, but I will listen to just about anything. I can get into Five Finger Death Punch and turn around and listen to the White Stripes and still be into it. The harder and faster it is though, the better. I also enjoy kicking it gangster from time to time.
What Makes Me Happy:
Being a die hard fan of the Boston Red Sox. I never used to be able to say that, but now life is pretty good being a Sox fan. Getting paid to do something that I love is a big bonus. Learning new things and overcoming the challenges of life make me pretty happy. Playing golf because for a few hours during a day, I can escape the bullshit of the real world, enjoy the outdoors, drink a lot of beer and play a game I love. Playing poker because it tests my ability to use my brain which I don’t normally do on a day to day basis.
Favorite Things About Central New York:
Dinosaur BBQ (Way too obvious). I like how at times it can feel like a small town and a big city all at the same time. Love the change in the seasons minus winter. Spring, summer, and fall are all cool in my book. Life is always good when it “feels” like football weather. SU sports even when they suck. The fact that our studio is located 1 block from about 15 bars in Downtown Syracuse and I can park there for free never having to worry about finding a parking spot.
What makes me different:
I can properly and safely operate a forklift. I am trained and licensed to make your lawn green and weed-free. I own many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany. I own a few toy light-sabers because I am sort of a Star Wars nerd. I have gotten into a fist fight with an old man over an incident of road rage. Well besides that I think I am a really nice guy.
What non-radio jobs I have had:
Cashier/bagger at a grocery store, camp counselor, telemarketer, salesperson, bill collector, lawn and landscape technician, operations manager for a lawncare company.
Things I hate:
People who can’t afford to pay their bills but rationalize spending a good amount of their income on lottery tickets. People who act like arrogant assholes. Stupid people. People who think the world owes them something and won’t work hard to try and better their life. Traffic jams, the yellow light, road construction, Canadian change when you pay with American money, pennies because they are useless, not being able to buy shoes you like because your feet are too damn big, telephone tough guys.
Things I love:
Legalized gambling, football, The Boston Red Sox, golf, loud music, drinking beer, chicken wings.
