I AM AN EVENT GUY
I am an event guy. That’s what I am, period. I have hosted 256 events to date, since I was a teenager in 1979: big ones with over 13,000 people, down to little ones with exactly two. It’s what I do because I am an event guy, and after 41 years of doing it, it has been imprinted too deeply into my DNA to stop now. I will take any event on, from a biker wedding, to a race between a man and a mule, it makes no difference to me because I am an event guy.

The Nampa Doll
I grew up in Nampa, Idaho. It was a small town, set in a wide desert valley. It was pretty quiet, arguably even boring. Crime was low, winters were cold and long, and sugar beets were the crop of choice. We had neither much to brag about, nor much to be ashamed about. But we did have the Nampa Doll, an object that threatened to alter the world’s perception of history, and make everyone from curious third graders to college professors, scratch their heads in wonder.

Shimmering
“Don't chase the numbers. Let them come to you." A former friend who won over $220 million in the lottery once told me that. And for years, I believed him. I played ticket, after ticket, using every imaginable number combination: birthdays, anniversaries, dreams, and phone numbers. After losing time after time, trying to coax the numbers in my direction, I quit believing. I tried to forget just how many precious dollars I had wasted on losing tickets. Shortly thereafter, my number-chasing days ground completely to a halt after reading that the majority of lottery winners actually use computer-selected "Quick-Pick" numbers to strike it rich.
