I raced Radio Controlled Oval cars for about 10 years before quitting back in 2006. Actually racked up 3 national championships and roughly 10 sponsors including a company called Customworks owned by Nascar driver Tony Stewart. Fun while it lasted but no money involved so I racked up way too much debt.
Below is video from my old home track in Akron, OH. Ran tracks everywhere from Blountville TN to Sandhills & Chatham NC.

I'm also a musician, started playing bass in a "for fun" local band recently, something I haven't done in a very long time. Also enjoy woodworking; I am working on a Stickley dining room table right now.

Photography which is nice because its somthing I can do with and about my kids.

Also 3 cushion billiards My winter passion. Obscure game that no one has probably heard of but one of the greatest cue games known to the sport.

Art mostly cartooning any more as the detailed stuff requires more time than i can afford.

Freestylin' on the acoustic/ukulele. 1 and 1/2 hours 5 days a week in Guitar Lab in high school. How sick of a class is that?

Started to fish a little bit.

That's really it. Not that many.

I am a card magician, and I often spend hours in my back yard with a mower making it look like a minny golf course (I dont get to play as much as I need to).

over the past summer Golf was pretty much my only hobby. As fall has arrived, I have season tickets to the Chicago Bears, and we tailgate so that takes up 8 weekends a year. After the football season is over, I snowmobile up in Eagle River, WI. and I hope to get out and snow ski some this winter since I have taken a few years off the slopes, will depend on how the snow is in the midwest.

In previous summers I have owned a sports car, or motorcycle, or both. However, for the last two (since getting married) I have not. Hoping that changes next summer.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

I've been an avid fisherman for 20+ years. I have a feeling though that now that I've got the golf bug my fishing is going to take a back seat to that.

As far as fishing goes I've been into the following:

Started out competitive bass fishing when I was in my late teens. Fished in several pro/am tournaments around california/arizona/nevada. Unfortunately due to school I had to put the bass fishing on hold. Took allot going out to lakes 2 weekends prior to a tournament to prefish then the actual tournament. Difficult on a 18-19 yo's budget.

After I finished college I moved onto deep sea fishing. Was lucky to know several people in the fishing industry so I opportunities to do some long range trips 5-16 day fishing trips out of san diego, ca. Its amazing how at 21-22 I could afford not only the gear, trips itself, and the time off. Now that I'm 33 there is no way I could get away on a 10 day trip. Glad I had the opportunity when I did though.

A few years back I got pretty heavy into the kayak fishing thing. This allowed me the opportunity to get some exercise and get out more often. Always nice to be able to get out for a few hours after work and just paddle around and relax. Its amazing how therapeutic a day on the ocean can be when work stresses you out.

Nice, I spent some time myself with cards and coins, but it has been quite some time since I last did any performing for an audience.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 87 (27 Jul 25) - Made it an easy session with the wedge this afternoon, worked on staying in the shot and not lifting out - split between low spinners and higher floaters.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Shot my new low 72 (par 70) today. Had 5 birdies, also a new best, which included a hole out from the bunker on par 3 6th, and another hole out pitch from 15ish yards on the long par 4, 15th.  Got a couple of other good breaks. Except for an OB drive on 14th (and ensuing double bogey), not much went wrong. All in all I might have used up a year's worth of luck in a single day.

      Back in the saddle after vacation.  Day 1: played 18. Did not have it, but still battled to an 82. Felt closer to a 90, but that’s fine.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Yes, I have seen this from the older crowd that play the 4,700 yard tees and want to know why they get less strokes from there. Always trying to game the system 🤣

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas · Posted

      Day 300 - 2025-07-27 Good 44-ball segment. GSPro was acting goofy, so I just put it on the Quad. Then I hit a bunch of low spinners. Hit 14° down to 9.8° down, with the average closer to 12.3° or so. Focused mostly on the backswing. Right knee good, hands roll up and out a little before laying off (FAR).
