TATTOOS: None, however during my freshman year of college, I was going to get The Police’s “Synchronicity” album cover tattooed on my bum, but since I HATE pain, I postponed that decision.

HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE YOUR JOB?: Which one? I love all my jobs, even on my worst days. I am one of the luckiest people I know because I do what I love to do and I get paid for doing it!

FAVORITE COLOR: Any and all primary colors, and every tangent color.

HAVE YOU EVER LIT YOURSELF, OR ANYONE YOU KNOW, ON FIRE?: What the hell??? NO, I have never set anyone on fire however I did convince my brother to hide in the dryer during a game of hide-n-go-seek. I promised him that I wouldn’t turn the dryer on, but once he was inside I couldn’t resist. Warren went round and round for about 5-10 seconds. That was in 1975 and he’s hated me ever since. He believes that is the sole reason he is only 5’9”.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN CONVICTED OF A CRIME?: Sort of. I have a misdemeanor on my record because I got busted TRAINING my dog off the leash at Himmel Park three years ago. I could have it removed however every rock star needs a criminal background. Oh…and I got kicked out of Canada in 1988…but that’s a whole other story.
