Taught myself to skate in the summer of 1996 and that autumn I made the Illinois State University hockey team as a goaltender. Started on the B-team against regional clubs, and was second-string on the A team and faced teams like University of Illinois and UW Platteville. (ISU Redbird Hockey)

Established a one-screen independent cinema that served pizza and beer in a refurbished glass-blowing factory. Operated for 3 years and then closed because I overextended our business and was young and foolish with money.
