CURRENT MISSION

Affect positive, lasting change - be it micro or macro, in others' lives or my own. Hokey, but true. It's what drives me and keeps me awake at night.

ABOUT ME

I like activities and learning. You'll always find me asking dumb questions that seem obvious, but I need to know a person's take on an issue to understand where they are coming from and to learn more from situations. I like sports as activities, and while I can feign interest, I am more interested in a good contest than following blindly. Of course, I do have some favorite teams, but I don't live and die by their survival and I can rally around them as a method of fun. I coach college water polo, play intramural basketball, rec-league volleyball, mens-league flag football and love to play squash, run, and swim. Oh - I'm also president and founder of the New Haven Cornhole Association (find us on facebook)

PHILOSOPHY

Not that I condone fascism, or any -ism for that matter. -Ism's in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off people.
