Favorite LEGO toys/themes: Classic Space (and Futuron, Exploriens, etc.), Pirate, Ninja, Star Wars.

My fascination with LEGO began... When I was five. My very first LEGO set was the Classic Space set #442 Shuttle. I still have all my old sets, but they're quite worn (and loved).

I once built... A good-sized LEGO TV set. My dad was a TV repairman, and I was inspired to make my own play set with all the cool guts inside.

Someday I will build... A massive Classic Space planetary site with 30+ baseplates and dozens of sets.

LEGO is great because... It is a wonderful and safe way for children of all ages to express themselves creatively.

LEGO fans are great because... We see more than just a pile of bricks, we see potential.


My favorite Non-LEGO Toys: Video games, Star Wars action figures

My favorite Hobbies & Interests: Collecting

My favorite Foods: Sushi, my wife's Spaghetti, Pizza, Ben & Jerry's.

My favorite Movies & TV: Action-Adventure, Comedy, some Sci-Fi.

My favorite Artists: Depeche Mode, Enya, Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails.

My favorite Music: Alternative, Classical.

My favorite Pets & Animals: Cats, hamsters, fish.


Words which best describe me: Organized, considerate, creative, handy.


I love it when... My oldest son plays LEGO with me.

I hate it when... My youngest son can't play LEGO with us yet, he wants to eat the pieces.

I can't seem to get enough... Classic Space Minifigures (solid red, white, yellow, blue, black).

I always seem to have enough... Clothes to wear.

I hope I always... Take time to be a great dad.

I wish I could... Go back and take better care of my toys from my childhood, so I could share them with my kids.

I could never... Hurt or forsake my wife or kids.

I hope I never... Go into debt buying collectibles for myself.

I wish I hadn't... Wasted a month buying VCDs, they are such junk. I only buy DVDs now.


In my craziest moments... I had $2100.00 in outstanding wins on eBay. I don't know how I recovered from that one.

Believe it or not... I have a super huge collection of video games and systems, from NES, SNES, N64, Genesis, SegaCD, Saturn, 3D0, Astrocade, TI99, Atari 2600/7800, VirtualBoy, GameBoy, NeoGeo Pocket, GameGear, PS1, PS2, Dreamcast, Famicom, SuperFamicom, CDi, Jaguar, Lynx, and Wonderswan.

If I were super-human... I would help to bring peace and organized understanding to this country.


More & Less:
  • more Republicans, less Democrats
  • more Walking, less Talking
  • more Lego, less Barbie

Rules I try to live by:
  1. Live your life honorably; what we do in life echoes in eternity.
  2. Never forget to check your references.
  3. Never rub another man's rhubarb.


Additional comments:

Remember, you can't take the toys you collect with you when you pass on. But you can fill your soul with memories, share your life with the people you love, and bring honor to your family.
