Things your proud of thead/brag thread

- I played two years of college football, able to start a handful of games my second year before transferring down to Ohio State. Tried to walk-on at OSU, quickly realized that I had zero business being on the same field with those guys.

- I have a Masters degree in Special Education and Mental Health Counseling. I'm a full-time Intervention Specialist and see patients in the evening and on the weekends.

- I have completed multiple Ironman races and 50 milers.

- My brother-in-law and I have flipped four homes. We have sold one and currently rent the other three out.

- Just built a brand new home in a Columbus suburb with the backyard of of my dreams.

- I have a beautiful wife and a healthy/awesome son. I could go on about them forever. She's a former OSU cheerleader and current 3rd grade teacher and high school cheer coach. My son is at the age that he's getting into/playing sports and it's great.

- I once ate 5 pounds of ice cream in a single sitting. I have the shirt to prove it.

Just curious since I also went to osu. What year did you try on?

Im an old man. I was there in the early 2000’s. The year before Justin Zwick is when I started, think 2003.

I played in a touring punk band through high school and college. Got to open for the Misfits, which was a dream come true. We also got to play some bigger shows like Riot Fest in Chicago and multiple Warped Tour dates. Played with some lesser known punk legends like UK Subs, The Unseen, The Casualties, etc.

Was a fairly successful local stand up comedian for a couple years. Won a couple contests, had a terrible paying booker, and told jokes in some of the most bizarre rooms. I once used a bible to tell a joke in a restaurant attached to a bowling alley and I had a mic in the corner while everyone ate dinner. Someone threw a dinner roll at me and it was perfect.

I lived with undiagnosed anxiety and depression until my late 20’s, since my family doesn’t really believe in mental health…or feelings for that matter. I still struggle, but I now have the tools to live a healthy productive life. I went from unemployed in my late 20’s to a nice paying gig as a fraud investigator for a financial company by my early 30’s. Probably my biggest accomplishment in life was going to therapy and really doing the work.

I married my college sweetheart and we’re still going strong. Our relationship is the gold standard for all our friends…and that feels pretty good.

I’ve never met a human who can chug a beer faster than me.

My daughter started volleyball this past year. She's a 2012 kid.

She was invited to try out for the 2011 team for the club she plays for. The team was set to field 3 teams at that age level. Competitive, intermediate, and beginner.

She was chosen for the competitive team, which will be bumping up to play a schedule against 2010 girls. So not only was she invited to play up a year, her competition will be 2 years ahead of her. I'm really interested to see how she does against girls 2 years older.

I remember watching your standup.

I have watched a lot of standup, and the few minutes you posted were excellent.

While I can’t compare to @KI4MVP….

-Took my 2.5 gpa BGSU business degree and worked my way up to be head of North American Tax Projects for a global financial services firm

-Allowed my PhD holding and former beauty queen wife to essentially retire so she can home school our kids since I can financially provide on my own

-Literally yesterday moved into a house on a barrier island in Florida steps away from the beach

-And…uncovered a secret plan by one of the top 25 richest men in the world and was later told he said it’s the only time in his career that news leaked and he genuinely had no idea how it got out.

Uh... You ok?

My daughter got a gig modeling eyeglass frames for Laura Ashley. See her in your local optometrist's sample section!

Bwaaahahaha just seeing this. Appreciate the concern. I’m good. Im in north of Daytona on the east coast. We got a ton of flooding. The half the pier in my city was lost. Dunes were breached. My street was flooded, but it never reached the house.

And the rich guy? Is he going to murder you?

I would if I was him. That fucking prick. But then again, maybe that’s why I’m just a decent guy stuck in the top 26.

What’s his plan? Feel free to share…
