Besides parents, who has been most influencial in your life?

In "life changing terms", my almost lifelong devotion to Christ.
Various musicians ...
... and authors who haveshaped my love of verbal and musical communication.

How do you typically spend your leisure time?

Again with the Music, Movies and Books ... and way too much quality TV watching thrown in. I guess I'm not a very well-rounded guy. I enjoy great conversations and have a weekly opportunity at a Men's Prayer gathering for no-holds-barred discussions among good (and safe) friends.

What are the three characteristics that describe you best?

1) Too emotional for my own good: high highs and low lows.
2) I have a keen dislike of bullies, especially when I'm tempted in that direction.
3) I would hope that my life is more than just the sum total of any statistics or wins/losses that could be tallied about me!

What are you life goals?

(In no particular order): To prove that my best work is not behind me ... To be the best Husband I can be ... To be "that one guy" who blesses someone's otherwise awful day ... To get healthier so as to live longer and spoil any future grandchildren.

What do you believe?

I believe that kindness, self-sacrifice, responsibility and honor are the ultimate acts of rebellion in our pervasive me-first culture. My generation helped build a selfish and self-obsessed culture from the ground up ... I'd like to live long enough to undo some of that damage. I am a Bible-oriented, mostly fundamental Christian, but I'm not a my-way-or-the-highway kind of guy.

Name of School and/or Employer

I've been a self-employed singer-songwriter since 1978. In the past I've worked at a drive-in dairy, cleaned up at a bakery, worked on a loading dock, played Santa Claus for one day at JC Penney's, worked at a small record company and co-hosted a radio talk show. There are two job-phrases I hope to avoid:

"Would you like fries with that?"
and
"Welcome to Walmart".

What is the most interesting thing about you?

"Most interesting" is tough for me to assess. My most memorable thing I've ever won? Long, long ago at a Saturday afternoon matinée at the long-gone Meralta Movie Theatre (in Downey, CA), I once won an 8x10 glossy of "Flipper" (yes, the dolphin). Not autographed, though.

Other things about me that I'd like to share...
