1985 - Present Highlights
Since graduating in 1985, I went on to get my BA from Eastern CT State University. If you can believe that. I then bit the head off of a dove in front of 15 egyptian exchange students at graduation. I began a career of cleaning shoes for homeless people, although that made me a very poor income. I then decided to tour as a roadie for Iron Maiden, but got kicked off the tour for biting more of our feathered friends. I then found myself working for Luciano Pavoratti as his personal chef. He got sick of cereal, so needless to say I got canned once again. I decided in 95 to run for local office. I was Mayor of Enfield for a day. They had me impeached for stealing staples. I then decided to try my hand at rodeo. I had a hard time staying on the bull though. Finally I decided to become the head brew-master at Jack Daniel's in Lynchburg Tennessee. I did VERY WELL there, and now today, I am still indulging in Jack Daniel's. Geddy Lee from Rush got in touch with me in 98 after hearing of my crazy days with Iron Maiden. He was interested in giving me the opportunity to house-sit for him when he went on tour. I took that job, and had a great time in the Great White North, but, then Winter came and I left. I forgot to close Geddy's front door when I left though. Supposedly some critters got in and caused $675,000.00 worth of damage. I got a bill the following Spring. I am now a Graphic Designer for a Firearms Distributor in Westfield, MA. I am married to a wonderful woman who somehow found me worthy to date and eventually marry and have a kid with. I am truly blessed. My baby girl Kicks Major Ass, a lot like RUSH. As you can see, I had a lot of stuff going on from 85 to present. Wow, I am tired. Think I'll go laydown now and have a drink of Jack Daniel's and think of my glory days of life on the road with Iron Maiden!! :-)
