About me

Occupation	Crocodile Wrangler
Introduction	As many of you know, I am in the Guinness book of World Records.....twice. The records are related -- I beat out Safranco August for "Largest Appendix Removal" back in 2006 (26.5 cm). The second record is "Longest Time with a Clamp in the Body", as the Doctors who took out my appendix found a 2 inch stainless steel clamp while operating. It had been left behind by the surgeon who removed my gallstones back in 1995. That's 11 years with a clamp inside, a world record! I am feeling great these days. Instead of suing the doctor, I returned the clamp and asked for a lifetime supply of outpatient surgeries from a doctor that he recommended (not him). He agreed to the terms. My favorite color is 7. I am actually both a Libra and Virgo as I was born over midnight on September 24th. This explains a lot about my choices and preferences. I have learned to read upside down because I worked for years as a contract specialists and had to explain agreement terms from the other side of a desk, while the client read the contract. That came in very handy when I was a member of the C.I.A.T , a partnership between the C.I.A and Pittsburgh S.W.A.T.
Interests	I have had some very interesting jobs that include: Ostrich Babysitter -- Ostrich's can be fierce animals and often peck each other (sometimes to their deaths). I was employed to sit in a field and make sure there wasn't a lot of pecking going on., Gum Buster -- Don't you hate sitting in gum? Well for 2 years, I went around to all the benches in downtown Chicago and removed the gum from them...to serve and protect! I was paid per piece of gum removed with bubble gum being paid out as a premium., Fortune Cookie Writer -- It's hard to come up with new (and true) fortunes for the thousands of people who crack open the fortune cookies daily. I actually am still employed by "Cookie Truth" the largest supplier of fortunes in the world.
Favorite books	Downunder...this is Worm Land! This book inspired me to start my own Worm Farm which I call Worm World. The Farm has been featured on WGN and The Early Show. It's unique because all of the worms are related and we have red green and earthworms living in harmony.
