Height:  6' Weight:  'Bout 2 bills lbs. Alumni Status:  '97
Location:  Columbus, OH Favorite Baseball Team:  Reds
Natural Enemies:  The 3 B's: Bullies, Bigots, and Buckeye fans.

Athletic Ability: Went yard twice this season in slow pitch softball. 'Nuff said.

Sartorial Style: Hand-me-downs from my younger brother. He's a couple years ahead of the fashion curve and I'm a couple years behind, so it's all good. Worked better when he was as fat as me, though.

Favorite Beverage and Consumption Freq: Monster Rehab right when I wake up with a hangover. Five or so cups of coffee between 8 and noon. Ice water at lunch. Green tea with honey and lemon early afternoon. Tito's and sodas at happy hour. Glass of Pinot Noir with dinner. Scotch or bourbon after dinner (just one, per Wifey's orders). Ice cold Bud Light Lime if I'm day drinking at the beach. Ballast Point Pineapple Sculpin if I'm out with clients who would think less of me if they knew I prefer Miller Lite to most craft beers.

Political Philosophy: I believe that those in a society who are better off should try to help those who aren't. If you were born on 3rd base, show empathy for those who are still hoping to get an at-bat. Taxes suck but are necessary.

Support LGBT causes, support poverty causes, favor stricter gun laws. Pro life, but can see the pro-choice argument in some specific circumstances. Against legalization of marijuana.

Any politician who tries to garner votes based on religion/ morality is most likely a hypocrite and a piece of shit.

Religious Philosophy: Somewhere in between Pascal's Wager and crappy Catholic. I took an Eastern religion class while at ND and really can see some attractive aspects of both Buddhism and Hinduism. Too lazy to really get on board with either, though. Figure if I just try to live by the Golden Rule, then purgatory shouldn't be too bad.

Musical Favorites: Springsteen, U2, REM, Dave Matthews Band, Phish, the Dead, the Samples, Counting Crows, Jay Z, Biggie, TuPac, Run DMC, Eminem, Dre, Snoop, Earth Wind & Fire, Curtis Mayfield, Billy Joel, the Beatles, Elton John, Hall & Oates, Boz Skaggs, Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, Justin Timberlake, Phil Collins, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, Smashing Pumpkins, Oasis, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, just about anything on Pandora Yacht Rock station, just about anything on Pandora Hip Hop BBQ station.

Favorite Quote from an ND Coach: "Save Jimmy Johnson's ass for me!"-- Louis Leo Holtz

Miscellaneous Data: I can recite "Wake Up the Echoes: The History of Notre Dame Football" word for word due to several hundred viewings.

Rocket's punt return in the '91 Orange Bowl is the greatest clutch play in the history of sports in my humble opinion.
