I skydive with Bengal tigers.  I was Jack Black’s body double for “Nacho Libre”.  My left foot is registered with Homeland Security as a weapon of mass destruction.  And I invented Apple Jacks.

Look, am I exaggerating a bit?  Maybe.  Have I completely fabricated this bio so far? Yes.  But I have seen tigers at the zoo, seen a Jack Black movie, broken my left wrist and eaten all kinds of cereal, sometimes two at the same time.

Here’s some stuff about me that Facebook keeps deleting:

• I was born and raised in New Jersey.
• I broke my front tooth when I was 10 when I flew over the handlebars of my bike.
• I would be 30 pounds lighter if some French dude hadn’t invented fries.
• My ears are entirely too small for my head.
• I am disturbingly committed to hygiene.
• I wear size 11 shoes even though I’m a size 9.
• I have experienced true love.
• I cannot stand almost every sitcom ever created.
• I used to be in a rock band that was signed to a national record label.
• I think our band sold less CDs than that holiday CD where dogs bark Christmas songs.
• The first time I heard “friends with benefits” I thought it meant friends who loan you money.
• Most of the stuff in my iPod is cheesy hard rock.
• I almost drowned trying to teach somebody to swim.
• I’m excited about the future.
• I hate flying on airplanes.
• I was taught how to snow ski by an angry German woman.
• It took me a lot of years before I really liked myself.
• I have an irrational fear of mushrooms.  People shouldn’t eat fungus.
• When I was in middle school I once pretended some Coke was spiked to impress a girl.
• I love the Yankees.
• I love my parents.

Most of all, I love God.  A lot.  I used to have all sorts of weird ideas about who He is.  Then I started paying attention to who He says He is by checking out the Bible.  I have a relationship with God that has changed my life, and I don’t know what I would do without Him.  He’s the reason I can face life every day and why I can laugh at myself and handle anything life throws my way.
