I met Travis Pastrana and Malcom McCassey after a freestyle event at dinner. TP invited me to sit and chat for a bit then we snapped some pics. Super cool dude.

I used to be buds with Nick Stahl (Terminator 3, Man Without a Face, Disturbing Behavior, Sin City.) He is such a normal guy it blows my mind. The guy still gets his clothes at Thrift Town and drives a busted Explorer, lol. It was always weird to be out with him and have people recognize him and freak out, he was really shy back then.

I was lined up next to Rickey Gadson on the Track...My Buddy was like Thats who tuned my bike...and I was like oh ok...Then RIckey Cracked off like a 9 Second Pass...Fucking Crazy To watch.

Other than that...I "Saw" Will Smith In Times Square as he was walking into TRL back when that show was still on.

Keith Jones (For you Hockey Fans out there) Came into my Wawa one night with his two daughters...and I rang him up.

And Mike Quick (For your Football Fans out there) also came into my wawa with like 8 of his friends and I made his sandwich for him.

Other than that...Noone really.

Before they were "famous" Chester Bennington (he's from AZ and his band used to open for the band I for whom I was the booking agent) Mike Mangini (worlds fastest drummer - he was the drummer for my ex-fiances band) Jane Mangini (Trans-Siberian Orchestra - she was married to Mike at the time and we were all friends.) One time I was at a concert with Cori and saw the opening band kind of hanging out after their set so I thought I'd take a pic even though I didn't know who they were, and the singer asked if I'd like to take a picture WITH him. Turned out to be the singer for Hinder...

And if it counts that my work used to be the music industry then; Pantera, Disturbed, Queensryche, Sammy Hagar, Third Eye Blind, Charlie Daniels, Dishwalla, Lords of Acid, Leann Womack, John Fogerty, Fuel, all of Linkin Park, Sevendust, Sepultura, Nothingface, Hoobastank, Rush, Slipknot, Dashboard Confessional, and a bunch of others I can't remember....

Never met anyone while working but was having lunch one Sunday at the Quality Inn in town (awesome buffet back then) and Ed Begley Jr. was sitting at the next table. I recognized him and my dad got up and went over to see if I was right

He was real cool about it, signed a napkin for my dad, he was visiting family in the area.

And for you country music lovers, I went to school with Travis Tritt . I was sitting in Miss Kitty's, drinking a beer with him before the show he announced his first recording contract and single "Country club". They shot that video at Miss Kitty's. Talked to Danny Shirley of Confederate Railroad back then too before they got famous.

A friend of mine use to be engaged to Jason DiSalvo, so I've hung out with him a few times. Damn, he's short. He makes a pitbike look like a full sized dirtbike

I met several last year during Bike Week in Daytona when I worked at the Ducati dealership there. I met Carey Hart, Jesse Rooke, Roland Sands, Arlen Ness, Kevin Ness, Corey Ness, Erik Buell, Richie Morris, and several others.
