Personal Interests: To quote the boys in Metallica – “Gimme fuel, gimme fire, gimme that which I desire…quench my thirst with gasoline…” I am fascinated by virtually anything with an engine and wheels – The current stable includes a 68 GTO (a frame-off restification started 5 years ago), a 68 GMC pick-up truck, a 91 Ford Mustang GT, and a 2002 Triumph Speed Triple – which I don’t have time to ride. Other interested include collecting antique gas station memorabilia, old home restoration, antique restoration, combat hand gunning, and black powder shooting. Musical interests range from Hard Core Rap to Metal and from Country to Swing.
