I live in Fresno, California (GO 'DOGS!) I was born in Coalinga, California, on July 15, 1959 (NO, that's not a typo).

I'm also a big-time Fresno State Bulldogs fan!! My best friend, Kathy, and I attend as many home football games as possible. We've seen some good players come out of the 'Dog Pound.... Henry Ellard, Stephone Paige, Jeff Tedford, Marquez Pope, Charlie Jones, Lorenzo Neal, Trent Dilfer, David Carr - just to name a few! Keep up with the latest news from Bulldog land at GO BULLDOGS.com.

I love rock music - especially music from the "80's Hair Band" era, such as MY FAVORITE, Def Leppard, as well as Dokken, Ratt, Bon Jovi, Slaughter (Mark Slaughter - YUM!!), Tesla, Danger Danger, as well as Van Halen and Aerosmith.

My most recent Def Leppard shows were in San Francisco during their "X" tour, on 12/14/2002. More recently, they played at Fresno's Grizzlies Stadium as part of the "Rock And Roll Doubleheader" tour with Bryan Adams. We stood out in the hot Fresno sun for 5 hours, and secured a spot right down in front on June 4th, 2005! Bryan Adams opened the show, and Def Leppard rocked the house! You can see some of the pictures I took at the show here in my Fotki photo album.

I love to travel, and see new places. I also love to hit the casinos for some gambling. Usually it's Reno and Tahoe, but lately I've been visiting one of our local tribal casinos, Table Mountain. I love to play the video poker machines, as well as the new 'bonus' nickel machines, with my favorites being Jackpot Party, Battleship, Jeopardy, and Instant Winner.

You can often find me posting my thoughts on Def Leppard at THE OFFICIAL UNOFFICIAL DEF LEPPARD FORUM. Once the Official Def Leppard Forum was shut down, due to INSUFFICIENT FUNDS from their stinking record company, Island Records, many of the die hard Lep faithful were 'homeless' for a period of time - wandering through cyberspace, looking for our lost friends. Thanks to LIZARDQUEEN20, and her husband John, they created a new home for us to gather, and continue the friendships that were beginning to form on the Official Forum. THANKS JOHN AND LIZARDQUEEN!!!!
