Describe your most "humbling" moment:
It was in May of 2006 and it made me realize that I have it great. I was spending time taking care of my friend Shannon while she was going through her cancer treatments. We were talking late one night (actually early morning) and she asked me to do something very difficult and something that the nurse usually does. Give her a suppository. She was in intense pain and needed my help. I was used to carrying her anywhere for her treatments and addressing her family with challenges but this was new territory. It was probably the second most traumatic decision I have ever had to make. The most was giving her morphine to ease her paid just before we lost her. But it was the most rewarding experience I have had to this day and one that has helped to shape who I am.

Do you have favorite type of music? Favorite bands or singers?
I have been singing since I was small town boy in Marysville Ohio so I like all types. Keep in mind there is difintely crap out there and I will tell you if I don’t like it. But it is not the genre but the actual artist itself. Listening comes down to the mood. I enjoy everything from Carrie Underwood to Metallica to Opera to Gorilla Black. Literally everything. Bring it and I will tell you if I like it or not.

I am a Movie Buff!!! I see a movie every weekend. And I can actually watch the same movie multiple times if I enjoyed it. Most recently was A Death at a Funeral. Laughed my Ass off at this one. But be careful, it is British humor. Very dry.
