So I have been talking about recipes, and interviews with Finnegans, and grocery shopping tips.  I thought I would take a night and let you guys know a little bit about myself.  I talked about my family in my first post, so this will focus on other lesser known facts.  So here are some neat little tid bits:

• I am a big Doctor Who fan.  Even since I was a kid I have been watching that great Sci-Fi time travel show.  I even play in a role playing group for the series, every other Friday.
• I like beer, like a lot.  But I don't drink as much as everyone thinks I do.  For me beer is about the experience of flavor, and trying something new.  I write for a blog at Beerploma.com.  I also dabbled a little in homebrewing.
• I am an Eagle Scout.  I also earned my Vigil Honor, and Founder's Award.
• I have been in the Grocery Industry for almost twenty years now.  I started out bagging groceries.  And currently I am a Certified Category Analyst for a packaged food sales and marketing company.
• My wife is from Germany, and we travel back there about once a year to visit family.  I speak a good amount of Germany, but I am not quite fluent yet.
• I love to cook, especially smoking and grilling.
• My prized possession is a radio passed on to me from my Dad that is an old whiskey barrel converted with a kit.
• I LOVE road trips to small towns I haven't visited before.

I will talk about some more at a later date.  But I go to get running for game night.  Thanks for reading!
