I was born in Chicago and grew up the suburbs as the oldest of 8 children. This prepared me to be self reliant. My parents were far too busy to do much for the oldest.

I have had a home recording studio for some time and besides musical recording (I play acoustic and electric guitar) I have used my studio to produce radio commercials for the businesses my wife and I started in North Carolina and for the McDonald’s restaurants we operated in West Virginia and Ohio

My idea of torture is slowly sawing someone's head off while video taping the event (i.e, Daniel Pearl). That event was newsworthy for about 2 days...
