My first car was a 'sparkling and shiney' 1988 Dodge Shadow and I now drive a BMW 750. If you could trade places with anyone in history for a week, who would that be? I would trade places with Howard Cosell so I could interview Mohammed Ali. What are some of your hobbies?
I enjoy golf, play acoustic guitar and I like watching the History Channel.
