Location Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States
Introduction I'm an eclectic chap who lives for the magic moment -- and always finds it at a Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert, in a terrifically well-written book, in a surprisingly clever musical arrangement, standing outside on a brilliant Fall day, or holding hands with my Soulmate. I'm an occasional adjunct professor of advertising in a nearby university, a writer of screenplays, and owner of an advertising/marketing business that primarily works with Artists (but we won't turn away anyone with a hankering for success and remarkable products and services to sell).
Interests Music, live theatre, writing, reading, hiking, biking, discovering new artistic talent, chess, Ray Bradbury, Simpsons Uno, Lost in Space, The Andy Griffith Show, LOST, The Twilight Zone, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Bob Newhart Show, Angel, Firefly, The X-Files, iPods...oh how the list goes on...and on...
Favorite Movies Juno, The Illusionist, My Dinner With Andre, Bridge to Terabithia, The Adventure of Robin Hood (with Errol Flynn), Pan's Labyrinth, The African Queen, Lars and the Real Girl, Field of Dreams, Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, Galaxy Quest, Serendipity, When Harry Met Sally...
Favorite Music Kansas, Rush, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Led Zeppelin, Petra, DeGarmo & Key, Steve Camp, Stryper, the Beatles, Dream Theater, Phish, the Grateful Dead, R.E.M., older King's X, Yes, Coldplay...
