Favorite LEGO toys/themes: Technic Rulez!!

My fascination with LEGO began... ...when I was eight years old living in Fairbanks, Alaska. A friend had some and when it was too cold to play outside, we would play with his LEGO.

I once built... ...a motorized coin sorter. It used a lot of roof bricks. It started out as an amusement park ride with lots of (the old style) gears.

Someday I will build... ...a LEGO robot that can climb up and down my stairs.

LEGO is great because... ...it lets my imagination run wild and it allows me to spend much fun time with my kids.

LEGO fans are great because... ...because no matter how old you are by earth standards, we are ALL about 15. :)


My favorite Non-LEGO Toys: My pinball machines.

My favorite Hobbies & Interests: My kids, R/C cars, pinball machines.

My favorite Foods: My wife's lasagna and steak.

My favorite Movies & TV: Sci-Fi and action/adventure

My favorite Music: Cusco, Natalie Imbruglia

My favorite Pets & Animals: Cats


Words which best describe me: Still a kid who likes his toys.


I love it when... ...all of the code I've been working on for the last month actually works as intended.

I hate it when... ...I get paged out on a production issue at 2:00am only to discover that it's someone elses problem.

I can't seem to get enough... LEGO...or sleep.

I always seem to have enough... ...projects going on simultaneously.

I hope I always... ...make my kids and others happy when they are around me.

I wish I could... ...get my matter replication device to work.

I could never... ...be a vegaterian.

I hope I never... ...stop playing with my kids.

I wish I hadn't... ...stopped progress on my degree.


In my craziest moments... ...I would call my bank to find out how much credit I had before calling Shop@Home...and not telling my wife.

Believe it or not... ...I'm a senior engineer, I teach at several local colleges and I have no degree.

If I were super-human... ...I would do my best to curb crime.


More & Less:
  • more Pinballs, less Video Games
  • more Humanitarism, less Greed
  • more Twinkies, less Diet Soda

Rules I try to live by:
  1. I may have to grow old but I refuse to grow up.
  2. Spend all the time you can with your kids.
  3. Don't stress out by other people's stupidity.
