I enjoy a hodge-podge of music- jazz, swing, Jimmy Buffet, Dr. Demento, heavy metal, classic rock, sea shanties, Irish traditional, Redbone, show tunes and mostly the blues. Oh, yeah.

Harold & Maude, the Bucket List, Strange Brew, the Blob (with Steve McQueen), Dr. Strangelove

Anything by Douglas Adams or JRR Tolkein, Shel Silverstein (especially his "adult" works), Slaughterhouse Five (anything by Kurt Vonnegut, really), Catch-22, the Phantom Tollbooth and, of course, Ghosts of Newport.

Acting, writing, cooking, history, historical re-enactment, guitar, sailing, fishing, hiking, camping, mountain climbing, photography, adventure, swashbuckling and anything else that tends to cause or increase the production of adrenaline.

I am married with three children, aged 15 months to 17 years. Yes, I was teaching my son to drive the week my youngest daughter was born.

I am the author of "Ghosts of Newport" as well as one of the guides for the Newport, RI "Old Town Ghost Walk." I've been researching the paranormal since 2003, when I became a ghost guide.

I am a stage actor/singer who has performed throughout New England- mostly in Newport and southern RI. I have also done some film, television and radio. Most notably, I play John Briggs in the "Rebecca Cornell" segment of "Secrets of Haunted New England."

I am a pirate. I have an authentic pirate costume; I was married in a pirate ceremony; I give lectures about pirates (and ghosts); I perform as a pirate at local events; and I get into frequent sword battles with other pirates. My grandmother always wished for, "more whores and pirates," in the family tree- I am simply doing my part to honor her request.

I am an award-winning freelance photographer. I've photographed orbs and ectoplasms in the paranormal world and major fires, floods, blizzards and other extremes in the tangible world. My photos have appeared in newspapers and magazines and on Jones Soda bottles throughout North America.

Abstracts, non-sequiturs, miracles, impossibilities, imaginaries, myths, legends and swashbuckling.

Self-absorbed, closed-minded, self-righteous fanatics.
