Beyond the Bio

If you could go back in time, what year would you travel to and why?

If I could travel back in time I would travel to 1893’s Chicago’s World Fair to take a maiden voyage on the Ferris Wheel, and drink some of the first batches of Pabst Blue Ribbon

If you were a superhero, what powers would you have?

My superhero power would be the power of teleportation.  Outside of the obvious benefits of not having to pay for gas, and getting stuck in traffic, I could always make a dramatic entrance to any party.

Who would you want to play you in a movie of your life?

Alec Baldwin would be cast as the lead role in the Academy Award winning movie of my life.  Alec’s detail to the dramatic and comedic theatrical arts got him the audition, but it’s his smooth talking voice that landed him the role.
