A few of my favorite things

Things I love.

A tongue-in-cheek tour of the things that keep me entertained, keep me moving, and occasionally make me think I’m much cooler than I am.

Pinball

It started with Godzilla in 2021. One game somehow became a collection of more than 30 machines—apparently, I have trouble stopping at one. The collection grew too much fun to keep to myself, so I opened up my warehouse to the tournament scene. We host monthly tournaments that bring in 30 or more players for a little friendly competition, plenty of laughs, and that glorious sound of a ball hitting the perfect shot. Come for the pinball; stay for the people.

Modern country & Taylor Swift

Carrie Underwood, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, and more. Big voices, good stories, and songs that make a car ride better. And yes, I’m a big Swiftie, too.

The old-time stars

Elvis, Engelbert Humperdinck, Paul Anka, and the voices that never go out of style. My playlists happily jump across generations. Thank you very much.

Favorite TV shows

No surprise: Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Married... with Children. I clearly appreciate a family sitcom—and people making a spectacular mess of ordinary life.

Comedy & live shows

I love comedy, and I love going to comedy shows. Sebastian Maniscalco, Jeff Arcuri, Marc Maron, Gary Gulman, Ben Bankas—and many, many more—are favorites. I love funny. Laughing is my favorite defense mechanism—and if you can make me laugh, we’re off to a good start.

Fitness & well-being

Staying active is part of the picture, too. I’ll share more about how fitness fits into my life as I fill in the story.

People & conversation

Good company, shared laughs, and learning what makes other people tick. That’s a pretty good way to spend an afternoon.
