Personal:

My daughter, Alice, was born in December 2002.

Her mother, Aimee, married me in July 2001. No one can understand why she did it, but I'm the lucky one!

There used to be a picture of Aimee with a 7 foot tall stuffed moose here, but she's asked me to get rid of it.

Riding

I ride a Kawasaki Vulcan Drifter 1500. The only custom add-on I have is an Indian head front fender light.
I am a member of VDOG (Vulcan Drifter Owner's Group), www.vdog.org.

I recommend the Basic Rider Safety Course offered by many community colleges around the country.

Cooking

I like experimenting with different recipes. I cook Indian food, mediterranean, other Asian, and of course, good old "american food."

I love to grill outdoors on my natural-gas-powered outdoor Broilmaster P4 grill.

Martial Arts:
Chinese-style kung-fu, especially Tai Chi and the other "internal" forms.
