GPWA Times Magazine - Issue 41 - July 2018

than manually going in and answering questions or trading likes, not much time is devoted now. What do you do to stay in shape – both physically and mentally? Obviously not enough – in my head, though, dropping 20 pounds is right around the corner! My wife, Jennifer, is very active, and keeping up with her is a good amount. Yard work is another form that keeps me going. What do you do with your spare time? Spare time is funny. You would think with working for yourself you would have a ton, but somehow that’s not true. But there are a lot of things such as fishing, target shooting, skiing, hiking, birding (really, it’s cool), along with a lot of things with my kids, which far outpace the amount of “spare” time I have. What did you dream of doing, both professionally and person- ally, when you were a kid? That’s a funny question as I really don’t have an answer. I was always wanting to get to work to pull in a paycheck, but never really said I want to be X. I worked in food service for a while and they sent me to college for a culinary management degree, then I left that and did some computer work. That jumped into Lo- tus/Domino and ended me up here. I can make a great beef wellington still, though, so it’s all good! If you won $10 million playing the lottery tomorrow, what would you do? I would most likely complain I need to pay four of that in taxes. Then put the rest into the bank, maybe buy a bass boat, but then I’ll need somewhere to store it so on and so on… If someone from out of town were visiting you, what’s the one place you’d definitely take them to see? The Winking Lizard in Peninsula. It’s an old night club from the 1800s in a little town, original building, dance floor and some lighting from back then. Now a full-blown busy restaurant with really good bar food. It is something that’s just cool. When you need to get as far away from work as possible, where do you go? The best disconnect was on a cruise ship. We took two different ones to Bermuda over a few years, and the fact that I had no connection at all is actually quite nice. After the first day, you completely don’t care if the server is on fire anymore. If you were stranded on a desert island, what three items would you take with you and why? A satellite phone, a lot of fresh water, and toilet pa- per. What else could you really need? If you could invite any five people, living or dead, to dinner, who would they be? Thomas Jefferson and four members of the Supreme Court of the United States. There are a few things I would like to get settled. Name three things that people reading this magazine don’t know about you. 1. I worked as a taxidermist for a while. 2. I hate people that cut in line. 3. I was onstage at Cirque du Soleil for quite some time at a show we went to. Nothing is worse than getting a new affiliate manager every fewmonths , or when they change the terms of your deal without notice or at all. 53 W W W . G P W A T I M E S .
