Why should you know more about me? Geez, why not? It'll be enlightening. But please, don't make fun of a da Joel.

Favorite Foods

I like to try out new foods. I developed this attitude when I started working for PwC and was on the road a lot. Being on the road forces you to try new foods out. Also, you start frequenting all the Chi-Chi's, Chevy's, Applebee's, and other chain restaurants you can handle. An eclectic list of favorites include:

  • Philly cheese steaks (cheese not necessary)
  • ice cream sandwiches
  • cannoli's
  • Apple n' Spice donuts
  • cheesecake
  • a warm slice of apple pie, a la mode

Favorite Drinks

Hmmm, maybe two much information. But in the spirit of this page:

  • Seagram's 7 whiskey and 7-UP
  • Bombay Sapphire (gin) and Tonic
  • Anything with Grey Goose vodka
  • Captain Morgan Rum and Coke (but Bacardi has recently been good too.)

I must admit that I never drank anything at all in college when I dormed up at SUNY Albany. I'm sure my parents thought I did, but I really didn't. I don't know why. I just never saw the need. Come to think of it, I think I had maybe 3 drinks all the time I was up there. Wow, what a dork!

Of course, once I started going to Pace University in Pleasantville, and I started to actually loosen up, I got a little better. Still, I didn't drink all that much. However, once I started travelling and working for "The Firm" (PwC), that's when the regular drinking started. Hey, you work in the consulting business for a while, and let's see you not touch the stuff.

Favorite Music

As a former practicing musican, I've learned to appreciate most types of music:

  • R & B
  • Rap (but not the gangsta-put-a-cap-in-yo-ass style.)
  • House/Techno/Electronica
  • Jazz
  • Swing music
  • Pop
  • Country (but not all)
  • Some Christian music too (but in small doses.)
  • Rock (Never forget hard rock music!)

I feel my collection of CDs and MP3s reflects that....U2, Vivaldi, Led Zeppelin, Lil' Kim, Korn, Chemical Brothers, Moby, Faith Hill, Mozart, Billy Joel, Audioslave, Sean Paul......

Favorite Hobbies

Now that I'm not travelling for a living, I'm making time to enjoy life. My hobbies include:

  • Cycling or running
  • Learning to cook
  • Listening to music
  • Watching all the movie classics I never saw
  • Computer gaming
  • Reading Sci-Fi / Fantasy novels.
  • Reading Business/Techonology/Current Events/Entertainment Magazines
  • Hanging out with friends
  • Travelling to new destinations (for leisure!!!)
  • Charitable work
  • Watching NBA games (Damn those NY Knicks. At least I still have the Kings.)
  • Interesting Food Fact
