I was a Union Carpenter Apprentice, and I have built 3 houses from the ground up. 5. I starred in a Bud Light beer commercial filmed in Hollywood which aired Nationally. 6. I have been fortunate enough to have dinner with Mick Jaggar of the Rolling Stones and Donny Osmond. (Talk about a spectrum!) 7.
