2006 Great Irish Stew Cook-Off
In 2006 I was the First Prize Winner (Amateur Category) in the Hibernian Hunger Project's "Great Irish Stew Cook-Off" which is held annually in March at Finnegan's Wake to raise money for the Hunger Project. Since 1999 the Hibernian Hunger Project has prepared, packaged and delivered over 73,000 meals to organizations like Aid For Friends, The Saint Francis Inn, Saint John's Hospice and the Philadelphia Veterans Multi-Service & Education Center. We have also collected thousands of cans of food for area food banks and organizations that feed the needy and homeless.

My wife and I are members of our Parish's (Holy Name of Jesus) Music Ministry (The Holy Name Guitar Group) and I serve as Cantor for Mass. | MORE ABOUT ME...

The best words to describe me are: Fun Loving & Crazy
My Interests: My Family, Music, Photography, History, Reading, Web Design

My Favorite Music / Singers / Groups: I like all types of music, if I like a song, so be it, it doesn't matter how it's classified. I'm partial to Country, Oldies, and of course Irish music. My favorite Oldies Groups are The Four Seasons, The Vogues and the Beach Boys (any group with a tight harmony), in Country music I like Toby Keith, Charlie Daniels, Garth Brooks, and Reba McIntyre. My favorite Irish Groups are The Clancy Brothers, The Irish Tenors (all of them), Celtic Woman, and almost all of Philly's great Irish bands.
