My Main Interests Anybody who knows anything about me at all, or has seen my music collection, knows that music is my biggest passion. I have a wide variety of tastes and have broken down my favorites to reflect that. Please visit My Music Page.

Music is my biggest passion but I do enjoy a few other past-times.

Other Stuff: Up until a few years ago, I was an avid comic book reader/collector. In fact, my nickname, GrimJack, comes from a comic book character from the 80's. My favorite artists in comics are Mike Grell, Mark Texeira and George Perez. Favorite writers are Chris Claremont and Marv Wolfman. I collected mainly Marvel Comics like The X-Men and Spider-Man titles. I'm also a big fan of Todd McFarlane's Spawn series and the Elfquest books done by Richard & Wendy Pini.

I enjoy photography, hikes, billiards, bowling, volley ball, computer games ( I love a good Pinball Game-I must have about 10 different ones), good science fiction, live concerts (I've been to almost 100 shows so far), the beach, the woods, roller coasters, everything Star Trek, my Husky, my cat and my friends. My favorite type of exercise is the 12 ounce curl (Diet Pepsi, mostly. I'm not much of a drinker ).

Things I Would Like to Do Someday: I've always wanted to learn to play guitar and/or the piano. I'd like to learn to play tennis, meet Elton John, go hang-gliding, ski, write a horror novel, and make love on a beach in Hawaii .
