My name is John and I live currently in Upper Arlington (the rich area of Columbus) Ohio. Born in Chesterland Ohio in 1973, I grew up at Geauga Lake.
I was concieved on a rainy night in front of a fireplace with chocolate candy and white grape juice on a bear-skin rug.
My love for rides began earlier than I can remember. Though not a coaster buff for starters, I enjoyed flat Rides at carnivals until my early teen years, eventually getting into coasters into college. I have now been on 169 pemanent coasters and about 14 portibles.
I majored in art in High School and attended the Columbus College of Art and Design and now have a BFA in visual communications. I work for the Columbus Dispatch designing ads and being a production artist. I write poetry on the side and can do all types of artwork....Painting, drawing, charcoal, pastel, watercolor, etc.
I drive a 1989 Honda Accord LXi with 136,120 miles on it, I love to eat KFC, and my rear end shows it!
My measurements are: 40, 32 and 6.5.
I have over 740 CD's and 38 DVD's. I love all types of music. I love DEPECHE MODE, THE SMITHS, MORRISSEY, THE CURE, NEW ORDER, GARBAGE, TEARS FOR FEARS, SUNDAYS, DAVID STEWART & BARBARA GASKIN, BILLY BRAGG, PUMKINS, JAMES, A-HA, JOURNEY, SAMPLES, U2, ICEHOUSE, LIGHTNING SEEDS, ERASURE, PET SHOP BOYS, FLEETWOOD MAC, GOO GOO DOLLS, CARPENTERS, METALLICA, BEAUTIFUL SOUTH, MARION, GENE, ELECTRONIC, RECOIL, MATCHBOX 20, THIRD EYE BLIND, and many, many more.
I yearn to learn more about ride construction and I have done ride models.
I collect Transformers and Beast Wars, I have over 300 of them, and I love to play with LEGO. I have two roomates and date a wonderful woman. I also dabble in the stock market.
I want to get a better paying job soon, a 2001 Honda Accord V6 EX, a house and the laser eye surgery.
I pay my bills on time, except when I am late.
