Growing up in Okemos, MI, in the Regan years - I was at first
a favorite target of the neighborhood bully Dan Esquina

But I soon began training in the martial arts 
and became feared by my classmates

In Highschool I played bass in the band Steel Water
which played various parties around Michigan State and the Lansing area

This is me and my friend John before the senior prom.
I started my career as a bus boy at Big Boy.

Upon graduation from High School, 
I began studying at Central Michigan University

During my summers I worked as a fudge maker and a waiter on Mackinac Island

At Central, I joined the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity

Finally I graduated from CMU after 4 1/2 long years

And that's my story in a nutshell.
