I was born on 12 January. This makes me a Capricorn for those who put stock in things astrological. I am an Eagle Scout; a Vigil Honor member of Lenapehoking Lodge IX, Order of the Arrow; and a District Committee member for the Hudson Liberty District of the Northern New Jersey Council, BSA. My additional BSA registrations include Council Committee Member, Assistant Scoutmaster - Troop 305, Kearny, and Merit Badge Counselor.

I'm an elected member of the Hudson County Republican Committee and also serve on the Executive Committee of that body. |

I'm also a member of Division 7, Hudson County, of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. |

I am a Third Degree Member of Our Lady of Grace Council #402 of the Knights of Columbus where I hold the position of Deputy Grand Knight. |

Nothing is quite as relaxing as a trip to the local pub for a few pints
of Guinness
Stout, a good cigar, and a few games of darts.
In fact, darts may be the most perfect competitive sport ever invented. It takes place in
a pub, drinking and smoking during the competition are perfectly acceptable, and blue
jeans are a qualified uniform.
Of course to keep things interesting I'm a huge fan of Van Halen,
Metallica, Extreme,
Jimmy Buffet, Black 47, and "Weird"
Al Yankovic. And you've just got to make you're surfing experience complete with a
visit to Doctor Dirty at the Official
John Valby Site. Also check out the funniest man to ever pick up a guitar - Stephen
Lynch.
The New Jersey Devils
are still my favorite team in the NHL. Careful people may
have noticed I still use the old green and red logo and not that new-fangled black and red
they're sporting. Somewhere I have a sweater in those colors that has no chance
of ever fitting me again.
You know what? I even have friends! A couple of them have even joined us in
the 21st century and put up web pages. Go and visit my friend Billy
to see just what
kind of sicko it takes to hang out with yours truly! You can also go and check out my
friend Sean and his band - Friends, Romans, Countymen.
Speaking of local bands, here are some of my favorites:
