When I was in high school, I learned how to create one thing and
one thing only: top10 lists. People would be amazed, annoyed,
betrayed, bewildered, confused, congratulatory, dazzled, derogatory,
elated, excited (well that's 10 words there, I think you get the idea!)
when they saw my top10 lists. You see, I would come up with top10 songs,
top10 batting averages, top10 scoring leaders, top10 grades, etc etc etc.
I did this outside class, in class, during class, on the bus, at my
track meets, etc etc etc.
Through it all, I mainted a 3.42 grade average at Penn Hills High School
in Pittsburgh, PA. Somehow that was good enough to get me into
The Pennsylvania State University, where I eventually graduated with a B.S.
in Management Science Information Systems in 1996. I learned and experienced
a lot, but I never lost site of my #1 interest: The top10 list.
Now keep in mind, I did this long before I even discovered David Letterman
or watched it on a regular basis (not into I got into college). So, while
the DL might be a favorite for place for many to go, I came up with this
obsession by myself.
As I was trying to update this page about myself, I figured, hmmm, what
should I write about? Then it hit me -- I'll just write about the top 10
things that I love in this world. That's kind of simple, right? Below,
you'll find out what I love. All you have to do is "read all about it"
(my first job, by the way, was a rise-and-shine paperboy for the
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) by clicking on the link below:
1. My girlfriend, Tara She can explain herself (and possibly
myself, too!) better than I can so just link to her page by
clicking here.

Lady Lions basketball team, but I also love the sport at the

6. Cool Television Shows I never get to watch them at

why we have VCRs. To find out what my top 10 shows are,

7. NTN Trivia My favorite games are Playback, Sports IQ,
and Topix, but I've played just about every game. Heck,

there awhile :) To see my favorite games and a short
commentary about it (as well as where you can play NTN
across North America), click here.
8. Video Games I grew up with an Atari 2600 and 5200,
a Nintendo, and the arcades. I never met a pinball machine
I couldn't crack. Here are some of my faves.
