Height:  5'7 Weight:  182 lbs. Alumni Status:  '94
Location:  Northern Virginia Favorite Baseball Team:  casually following Nationals and Blue Jays...got over alienation with 94 canceled season
Natural Enemies:  Miami Dolphin (Fish) fans

Athletic Ability: Run, bike, made my own personal gym with the few free weights, resistance bands, and a good bench I was able to secure at the start of COVID gym closures. Not sure I'll return to the big gym as along with HIIT workouts and active physical therapy/trainer, I am feeling very pleased with changes after years of gym only mentality.

Recreational bocce player. Drinking and balling and celebrating my Italian heritage with friends in Arlington/Alexandria at least until COVID shut down leagues is a blast!


Played for Keenan Interhall hockey team with a certain Stanley Cup winning GM.

Punt team for 1992 Keenan Interhall Championship. Grew up overweight. Played line through high school based on strength. Barely made the lineup of this legendary power team due to being very light for a lineman. Honored though to be on the team which defeated Zahm 7-0 for the glory!

Sartorial Style: Work: Business casual.

Not at work: Shorts, jeans, t-shirts, sweatshirts. Most clothing items exhibit the Buffalo Bills, Buffalo Sabres, and 5k or running shirts from the Buffalo Turkey Trot or other runs around DC from the past few years.

Favorite Beverage and Consumption Freq: Wine: A lot. Savignon Blanc, Cabernet Savignon, Pinot Grigio, Montepulciano when eating red sauce Italian. Blind wine tasting with some more experienced friends and I'm learning new things and even have guessed one wine correctly after 20 such gatherings previously in person but now over Zoom at everyone's home.

Old Krupnik: On occasion for as long as my bottle lasts from trips back home to Buffalo. It's a Polish honey liqueur, which also is used as a cough, cold, and sore throat elixir.

Rarely now other hard stuff. Jameson when I need its special powers. Went through a bourbon phase after work trips to Kentucky.

Beer: Occasional, but feel I've grown up. Favorite is Great Lakes "Edmund Fitzgerald." Devil's Backbone Vienna Lager, Coors Light, Molson, and Labatt's varieties. Not nearly as often as I used to. Usually just during football or if free and no wine is available.

Practically quit diet Pepsi in the last 2 years. after being "addicted" since late teens.

Political Philosophy: Socially have trended more left to the point of left of centr. Still fiscal conservative. See the world and nation much differently after Trump.. As a native of New York State, I would never in good conscience have voted for the ex-Senator and ex-S from Park Ridge, Illinois.

Religious Philosophy: AMDG! Disciple of Pope Francis, SJ.

Musical Favorites: Variety...pop, 70s, 80s, 90s, classic rock, hard rock metal, Buffett, early alternative, classical, polka, Irish punk drinking, Italian Pavarotti and Bocelli. Frequently listen to SiriusXM First Wave and loving Depeche Mode, New Order, the Smiths, Cure though when this music was new I identified more with the Van Halen glam rock or Led Zeppelin classic rock.

Favorite Quote from an ND Coach: Philosophy rather than specific quote. W.I.N. "What's Important Now." Lou.

Favorite non-ND coach quote: "Where else would you rather be than RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW?" Marv Levy.


Miscellaneous Data: My golf cart crash in January 1992 in the snow and ice outside the Law School building was due to deliberate reckless driving over an argument with the passenger/dorm mailman regarding that week's upcoming Super Bowl XXVI.

I prefer the NFL to college football. It's just reflective of how it was growing up in my hometown and our love of the Bills.
