1. What's your day job?
I am self-employed which means I am always broke. Can someone please find me a stable job so I can have some money to bet against ATM in our tournaments?

2. Where did you go to school?
Got my B.S. in Chemical Engineering at Tulane University in New Orleans. $110K worth of education down the toilet. Not even in the same field as my degree.

3. How about family... Are you married? Kids?
Been married for three years and do not have any little rug-rats running around.

4. How long have you been playing golf and how long with HVGA?
Been playing golf for 12 years now and stared with HVGA from Day 1! I was one of the founders of this club. I am one of the person to blame for all the fighting between our members and their wives.

5. Any memorable golf stories you want to tell us about?
I have two memorable golf stories. The first one was at the 1999 PGA Championship at Medinah CC with Tiger Wood and Sergio Garcia going head to head for the title. I was 10 feet away from Sergio when he hit that famous shot from behind a tree with his eyes closed and then ran and jump up the fairway to see where the ball landed. That place was going crazy!!!!!! The second golf story was when I was invited to a clinic with Tiger Woods. This was before the fall from Heaven! I was sitting 20 ft. from the man himself. For 45 minutes, Tiger did some questions and answers on the game of golf. It was really cool to pick up some of the pointers he showed.

6. What annoys you on the golf course?
I do not like the range finders on the course. We have high handicappers with range finders! How accurate are you if you are shooting in the 90's? Distance control can't be the only problem. Just get it in the fairway and on the green. Also why do people need to use a range finder 10-20 yards away from the green? Hmmmmm... Simon.....:) For me, its all about feel, not range finder distance.

7. What's your take on Tiger's transgression?
If Tiger was single I would say "Way to go Tiger". I like that you are chasing after history - Wilt Chamberlain record of sleeping with 20,000 women. But you were married when he was going after history and that is a no-no. If you don't love your wife and kids, then get a divorce. Now its going to cost you millions. I think you would have gotten this record from Wilt if you save those millions in this settlement and spend it on the other women. It's sad to see that his transgression tore his family apart, but after all this passes, he can continue to go after history....but which 0ne? golf or Wilt?

8. Any other hobbies aside from golf?
Watching golf on the Golf Channel, is that consider a hobby? When I have spare time which is not much lately, I like to play or practice golf.

9. Would you consider yourself a teacher or student in golf?
I am both. I learn a lot from reading, watching videos, watching players' swing and then I try and pick out the basic parts and teach others. I like it when a player finally realizes the correct way of doing things and the results from that.

10. Any words of wisdom or golfing tips you want to leave us with?
Practice, Practice, Practice, and Patience.
