Other Hobbies: I collect game-worn minor league hockey jerseys. My most unique jersey is a 1985-86 New Haven Nighthawks away jersey worn by Chris McSorley. He only played two games for New Haven that year, but he's most famous for: (1) supposedly biting the nose off an opponent's face during a fight, (2) he lead the IHL in PIM with 545 in 75 games in the '85-'86 season with the Toledo Goaldiggers and (3) he coached three professional hockey teams to four league championships (back-to-back ECHL championships with the Toledo Storm in '29-'94 and RHI championships with the Anaheim Bullfrogs in '92-'93 and the Buffalo Stampede in '93-'94).

Occupation: Senior Property Manager- Industrial Real Estate

Interesting Facts: I don't know if this is interesting but, I grew up in Hartville in northeastern Ohio and when I wasn't playing the Atari with my brother, I wanted to play five sports: soccer (goalkeeper- indoor was preferable, but outdoor would do), hockey (I was the only person that I knew that liked hockey in the football part of the state), lacrosse, triathlon and footy (Australian Rules Football). Well, I played goalie my senior year of high school, since that was the position that ran the least (I hated to run). I played lacrosse, mostly as a midfielder, at The University of Akron (where I meet my wife- she was also on the team) and upon graduating, relocated to Columbus. Since I needed something to do in my new hometown and I could skate, just not stop without the aid of a wall, I joined a dek hockey team (hockey played in tennis shoes with a hard plastic ball instead of a puck). After winning a league championship, the countess waffles burns and breaking a teammates nose (sorry Wes), I stopped doing anything. In June 2002, I went to the doctor and I weighted over 205 lbs. Since I weighted 165 lbs in college, I decided that I needed to get off my butt. That fall, I completed my first triathlon (The Great Ohioan- 1:54:22), a couple training runs (races of 13.1, 18.6 and 10 miles- the extent of my marathon training) and my first marathon (Columbus Marathon- 4:54:22). I then set my sights on running a marathon in every state, 8 marathons in 6 states, but that goal has taken a back seat to the triathlon training. However, if I wasn't doing triathlons, I'd be attempting to play footy with the Columbus Jackarros.
