I like the fact that I am diverse in what things that bring me pleasure. What you may not have guessed by looking at the rest of my web site is that I was raised on what is virtually a small farm in Crest. Crest was then and in many ways still is the rural area of San Diego. Therefore, some of my hobbies are outdoors related and include horseback riding, hunting, and fishing.
I also enjoy other typical guy stuff like attending sporting events, especially baseball & football (I have Charger Season tickets), and playing poker.
That being said, I am just as comfortable going out on the town and enjoying a good dinner with a movie or play and perhaps some dancing.

When making this site, I discovered that I am great at
taking lots of pictures when I am on vacation, but there is so much in my day-to-day life that includes time spent with precious family and friends. What I do have are some
pictures of me playing poker, enjoying
Charger games, and a few hunting and fishing pictures. I hope to
develop more areas of this part of the site in the future.
Poker
The first time I played poker in a casino was on my 18th birthday.
This was long before the current poker craze created by televised poker
tournaments. That being said, these pictures are of me playing at
the 2007 World Series of Poker at the Rio Casino in Las Vegas.
No, I wasn't in the main event. I played at a very low limit, 4-8 Texas Hold 'Em live game. My World Series experience lasted 2-hours and cost me $80.

Chargers
In 1993, at the age of 19, I figured I was the
youngest Chargers season ticket holder whose parents didn't take them to
the game. Likewise, a best friend of mine Jamie Leckie who is a year older
than I, was
likely the second oldest. This season marks 15 years of having tickets
together. Now our group has grown to be about 10 close
friends, giving us a great opportunity to get together regularly
during football season.
While working for Picnic People, my connection to the Chargers grew as I managed a great deal of the team's pre-game fan entertainment (balloons, face painting, stilt walking and caricature artists). During that time I attended practices and entertained at events specifically for players, staff members, and their families.
Now that I have left Picnic People, I still feel close to the team as another good friend Nova Rogers' mother, Georgette, is the executive receptionist for the Chargers.
Maybe, this year the San Diego Super Chargers will go all the way!

Fishing
and Hunting
WARNING:
The Fishing and Hunting Page contains pictures of dead fish & animals.
If you find this disturbing, please do not go to this page.
If you are a vegan or a vegetarian because of ethical reasons regarding
the treatment of animals, I applaud that choice for you. I honestly
believe that you have a made a difficult lifestyle choice for ethical
reasons and that should be commended, but that choice is not for me.
I have included this page because fishing and hunting is just as much a part of who I am as anything else.
I very much believe in conservation and protecting the environment, especially endangered species, but I am not a vegan or a vegetarian. I like meat and believe the protein that meat provides our bodies is good for us. That being the case, I believe that in the long run, it is more ethical and better for us to eat something that has had a chance to live free in the wild than the confines of a cage. I also believe if animals are to be killed that it should be done as quickly and painless as possible and that they should be consumed. One should not kill only for the pure sport of it.
