Athletic Ability:		I play pick-up basketball almost every week. We don't have "40 minutes of Hell." More like "40 minutes of Malaise". And, my lack of size is rivaled only by my lack of quickness. Bodysurfing in Margate. I swim year round with my 21 year old son A.J. I really like the beach, so does A.J. My sit-on-top ocean kayak may be my most useful (yet modest) investment ever, especially for the welcome side benefits of peaceful tranquility.
Sartorial Style:		Jeans and T-shirt, sometimes cowboy boots, surfer shorts and flip-flops. Notre Dame Jersey (Home or Away) on Gameday. Always.
Favorite Beverage and Consumption Freq:		I never met a beer I didn't like. Some favorites include Guinness Stout, Harp Lager, Harpoon Winter Warmer,Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale,Saranac,Blue Moon/Full Moon,& Sam Adam's seasonals (Winter Lager/Spring Ale.) I average about a six pack per week. I like Italian red wines (visited the Chianti region once.) Occasionally enjoy a nip of Jameson's while visiting NDNation late at night! Bourbon. Manhattans rule!
Political Philosophy:		Fiscal Conservative, conservative on most (not all) social issues as well. I am suspicious of Limousine Liberals. Partisanship gets me down!
Religious Philosophy:		3rd Deg.,K of C,All Saints Council; Pro-life Catholic. Despite some of the Church's setbacks, I am proud, honored, and priviledged to be a Catholic. It's all about Jesus and helping and loving one another.
Musical Favorites:		The Band of The Fighting Irish, Chieftains, Andrea Boccelli, Rolling Stones, The Who, some Classic Rock, some Modern Rock.
Favorite Quote from an ND Coach:		Lou Holtz, commenting from the ESPN studio on a particular player's lack of speed/quickness : "In a race with a pregnant woman, that young man would finish third."
Miscellaneous Data:		I have a very understanding wife (Andrea) who lets me be me. I am an avid college hoops fan who is extremely passionate about Villanova Basketball.Yet, I live for autumn Saturdays in South Bend. My Father,Brothers,Godfather,& friends look forward to our an annual pilgrimage. Notre Dame is truly a spiritual and special place. There is simply nowhere else like it. The football isn't half bad either.
