ABOUT ME, LESS PROFESSIONALLY.
THINKER
My last name is pronounced like Babe Ruth's. Some nights I lay awake wondering if he encountered the same pronunciation issue.
MEMORABLE
I met Joan Rivers in Paris, twice. She recalled my Olympic USA snapback. And secondly, me, the person.
LUCKY
I had lunch with the Doctor from Jurassic Park in New Zealand. We drank wine from his vineyard.
DEDICATED
I camped outside Buffalo Wild Wings for 28 hours in the winter for 6 free wings, once a week for a year.
INFLUENTIAL
When the Blackhawks won the championship, I lifted a barstool as if it were the Stanley Cup. It made a full lap around the bar before I was asked to leave.
LAID-BACK
The other 95% of my life, you can find me horizontal on a couch, sipping craft brews, performing sit-down comedy with nearby friends, and Netflixing without any of the chilling.
