Oi!  <----Yes, that's a cool greeting that folks in the UK use, it's kinda like 'hey'.  I think it sounds cool.

Much thanks for checking out my bio.  Odds are you heard me on Froggy in the afternoon and thought "What a weird voice.  I wonder what that joker looks like?".  Or perhaps you're an insomniac waiting for your Ambien to kick in.  Alright let's be honest, you're killing time at work.

Either way, thanks for tracking me down.  Now that I've hooked you in, I'll divulge some details.  Call them "Things You Probably Didn't know" or "Things You Probably Could Have Guessed" or "Interesting Nuggets That Popped Into My Head While I Was Writing This".  Ok, let's do it!

Books I'm Into:
- The Road by Cormac McCarthy
- Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
- The Great Shark Hunt by Hunter S. Thompson
- Catch 22 by Joseph Heller

Country song that I never get tired of hearing: Dierks Bentley "Settle for a Slowdown"

Spme could say I suffer from the "Sonoma Coma", i.e. I've been around this area most of my life:
- Casa Grande High School and SRJC grad
- Born and raised in Petaluma
- Fondly miss Deaf Dog Coffee (Blended White Mocha, I miss you)
- Obsessed with Mary's Pizza (gotta get the double crust though, that's a must)
- Remember when Coddingtown Mall's flagship store was The Emporium.  I used to hang in the toys section.
- Recall the winter of 1997, when everyone suddenly knew the phrase "El Nino"

Actively follow two sports: Football and Hockey.  Real football though, not that soccer crap.  Specifically, I'm a dedicated San Francisco 49ers and San Jose Sharks fan.  Ever seen that idiot on game day in the grocer store completely decked out in a Patrick Willis jersey and Niners ballcap?  That was probably me.

I grew up a San Francisco Giants fan, and passionately followed them, until the year 2002.  You may recall, that despite pumping the majority of their team with steroids, they couldn't beat and Angels team with guys named Salmon, Eckstein and Erstad (are those even real names?).  My love for them essentially died that night.  I gladly take calls at 636-1HOP, but if you ever bring up Game 6, you will hear a grown man cry.

Favorite country concert I've been to: Charlie Daniels Band / Marshall Tucker

Invention which can't possibly be making money but makes my life wonderful: Netlfix

I don't get all hot and bothered about the woman on TV that everyone else does.  Guys always run their mouths about Jessica Alba, Cameron Diaz or Giselle.  Eh.  They're obviously attractive, but just not really my style.  That being said, there are a few celebrities I would consider "babes":
- Jennifer Esposito
- Lori Laughlin
- Leah Remini
- Kaley Cuoco
- Alison Hannigan

I'm a total beer nut.  NO, this doesn't mean that I load up on 24 racks of Natty Light on weekends and get obliterated.  BUT, my buddies and I do enjoy visiting breweries around the country and sampling superb brews.
- Favorite International Beer I've ever had: The York Brewing Company (York, U.K.) "Centurion's Ghost"
- Favorite American Beer I've ever had: Wynkoop Brewery (Denver, CO) "St Charles ESB"

That's all for now.  Any more questions? Facebook me, or call me at 636-1HOP weekday afternoons!

Cheers,

Dano
