What do you love and/or miss about your hometown?
My family, the quiet, the slow pace of life.
When you were young what did you want to be when you grew up?
A rock star.
Hobbies? Gardening. I pretty much spend all my free time in my gardens. If I were a super hero, my special power would be to make any plant grow. Kind of like the male version of Poison Ivy, but I’d be a good guy.
Pet? My beautiful dog Buddy, who would be my super hero side-kick. His super power would be super speed. He’s totally like a lightening bolt when he chases squirells. He also could probably lick people into submission.
What was your first job?
Working for my Dad as a ranch hand. Some days I would spend eight hours on a tractor in a hayfield, miles from any other person. Sometimes I’d strip down to the buff to work on my tan. There is a busy railroad line that cuts through a big part of the ranch. Sometimes an Amtrak train would come through on its way to Boise, and I always got a kick out of standing up naked on a tractor and waving at the train as it passed.
