Misc. fact about yourself: First lived next door to David Volek (NYI) than moved next door to Pat LaFontaine. Both were super nice guys who would take me on the ice and taught me all about hockey, from the age of 4. Probably because of their influence I was able to grow up to play NCAA hockey at UVM, and have developed an incurable case of hockey fanaticism that will likely lead me to be unhappy in a career that doesn't somehow involve hockey; currently I'm hoping that if I end up teaching (as planned) I can at least coach.

My brother and I saw him outside his garage and heckled him that the Yankees were going to take it to them....... Boy were we wrong that year.
