What would you consider to be your 15 minutes of fame so far in life?

Well, you can see me in the audience at the end of Mike Portnoy's newest instructional DVD, In Constant Motion. I'm wearing an orange shirt and clapping. That should narrow things down!

I guess that really doesn't count though. Ok, how about this one…When I was in middle school a project we were doing for the National History Day competition showed up on the local news. I believe this was about the Stanley Theater, which is a local landmark around these parts. Or maybe it was about Trenton Falls. Anyway, we were shooting a video documentary for a contest.

The local news heard about it and decided to come down to the school and do a story about it. I show up in some B roll footage showing somebody something on the computer. I was the camera/video/computer guy and did a lot of the video editing, video taping and scanning of stuff. Anyway, my name actually appeared in the final piece during the early nightly news…but attached to another one of my groupmates. They made a mistake (as this local news channel does) and put the wrong name up. It was corrected before they ran it at 11 though.
