Favorite sports or team: Louisville Cardinals and St. Louis Rams (yes, I am a Rams fan and don't ask me why).

What I'm listening to nowadays: Damn near everything depends on my mood as long as it isn't pop music.

Coolest thing I've done: three women at the same time and secnd to that would be the time I met Pantera backstage at Louisville Gardens on their Far Beyond Driven Tour. Got everyone's autograph except for Phil Anselmo.

Most embarrassing moment: See first gig. The entire band was out of tune and it was a train wreck, so I quit the next day.

Bad Habits: Smoking and drinking.

When/where did you first get some: In 1992 with my girlfriend at her friend's mom's apartment in the hallway while her friend and her sister watched. The deal was we could not screw unless they watched and I wanted some, so what do you do, you put on a show so I did.

If you could meet a Rockstar ( past or present ), who would it be, and why: Tommy Lee. Just always wanted to meet and hang out with him..

Who do you love: My wife Jennifer and my sons, Austin and Jason Jr.
