What's your favorite beer?
I don't really have a favorite beer, it all depends on the who, what, when, where, and why of it all. Some days I feel like drinking some crazy Belgian shit that I can't even pronounce and other days I feel like drinking Blatz and Black Label. Alright, I drink a lot of Hatter - does that answer the question?
Favorite quotes?
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center light pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
Jack Kerouac
"Just drive down that road, until you get blown up"
- General George Patton
Most memorable moment / event while with NHBC?
After working here for 5 years, I've seen some pretty crazy shit. Come to think of it, I'm pretty good at lodging myself smack dab in the middle of any craziness that ensues. I think that riding through a trailer park on the hood of a car naked and thrusting in the crab position while the song "Girls, Girls, Girls" blasted on the stereo would be an appropriate example of the situations I seem to get myself in to. That's more or less just the tip of the iceberg - buy me a beer and I'll tell you more than you want to know.
What do you like about your role at New Holland?
People let me be responsible for my job. My warehouse is my little corner of the universe that I control and I don't have to deal with anyone looking over my shoulder constantly. If I do my job correctly nobody will notice, which is the way I like it. I enjoy the mentality that this isn't middle school and nobody is going to hold my hand. Help is always there should I need it, but the training wheels are off.
If I could do anything, I'd ...
Buy a house in the middle of nowhere and devote all of my time to Hillbilly things. I can see it now... riding four-wheelers, hunting, fishing, drinking beer, chewing Beechnut. I would have a big pole barn in which I would set up a kick ass home-brewery, workshop, bar, and attach a smokehouse to the back. My Hillbilly hobbies would include pickling eggs, making sausage, smoking jerky and other random meats, and learning how to make cheese. In order to make myself truly Hillbilly, I would have to arm myself with enough weapons to start a small revolution and fly a rebel flag somewhere on the property - as well as becoming much more proficient in the ways of chewing tobacco and the use of a spittoon. I think I may also need to learn how to distill, in order to make my own 'shine and would have a sign at the entrance that read 'Never mind the dog, beware of owner', with some sort of gun pictured on it. Maybe if I play my cards right I can get David Allan Coe to come play a concert at my hillbilly compound...
