Greetings everyone. Like a few others in this thread, I too live in Las Vegas (closer to Henderson). I moved here four years ago from Montana, where I spent 16 years. I'm originally from the Midwest (Wisconsin and Michigan). I moved around quite a bit after college because I worked in TV and radio news, and broadcasters are a pretty mobile bunch.

I also owned and operated a video production company in Montana for 11 years. My company produced everything from commercials and PSA's to full-length, original TV shows, including Montana's first weekly comedy show and first real estate show. For a few years, I wrote a humor column that was published in MT and NV -- sort of a poor man's Dave Barry.

Education-wise, I got my BA in Communication Arts from Oakland University, and my MBA from University of Phoenix. I'm hoping the MBA will help me get a part time teaching job at a local college or university.

For the last 2 1/2 years I have worked in public relations. I am fortunate to have a great job and work with some very talented -- and fun -- people.

I'm newly single, having gotten a divorce last October after 10 years of marriage. I have two young children whom I see every other week.

I enjoy movies (particularly action/adventure, sci-fi and comedy); music, especially baby-boomer era rock-n-roll (everything from the Beatles to the Moody Blues & Chicago); running; water-skiing; snow-skiing; and being with friends.

People remember me for my sense of humor and my height -- I'm six foot six. Plus, some people find it interesting that I went to jr. high and high school with Madonna. (We used to serve lemonade together at Student Council dances.) However, the rumors about her having my love-child are totally false.
