Love to travel almost as much as I love my wife.

I like to read Steinbeck, Dumas, George MacDonald Fraser, Margaret Atwood and good travel literature like books by William Dalrymple.

My favorite director is John Sayles, I love Robin Williams' acting and movies by Kevin Smith are always fun.

My taste in music is quite unorthodox. Somedays I love OutKast, others I want to listen to James McMurtry. But Buddy Guy, Norah Jones, Kelly Joe Phelps, Soundgarden, Nathan Hamilton, Sarah MacLachlan, U2 and Jimi Hendrix are the regular suspects.
