    Ive met Steve-o from jackass and the rapper Xizibit (both of them are originally from my home town Albuquerque, New Mexico)

    and I have also met Arnold Schwarzenegger I rode in the same tram car when he came into town, he's come to New Mexico multiple times since cause apparently he loves this area and it is rumored that he may buy a ranch or something here...

    and lastly I have met Robert Downy Jr. actually funny how I met him, he was eating lunch at flying star and I literally accidentally ran into him, we both were not looking where we were walking and scuffed shoulders and almost spilled our trays!

    Darius Rucker lives here in Charleston I meet him at the mall food court last year.
    I also did a home inspection on one of Dan Marinos homes out on Kiawah Island but didn’t get a chance to actually meet him.

    Danay Garcia, didn't know who she was when I first met her. It was before Prison Break. Spent at least an hour in a car with her and had some good conversation.
    She was up in Canada while her boyfriend was racing rally cars.
    Super nice and easy on the eyes!

    He owns several commercial grade planes. He and his family live at a subdivision in Ocala, FL where the homeowners have their own "airport" if you may. He has a hangar for all of his planes, as this is a bylaw in the subdivision covenant. He's a rated commercial pilot.


    I forgot that I knew two other celebrities. I used to go to the same church as Trent Dilfer, while he was the Buccaneers QB. He brought over Tony Dungy, who also became a member. I once almost ran Dungy over at the parking lot. I was kinda hot dogging, and he just poped out of the blue. Gave him a good scare, and I almost threw up as I could just read the headlines "Coach Dungy injured at parking lot accident, by idiot driver..."

    I though that noone saw it, but even though that church had back then like 6K members (it has more now) it spread like wildfire... :eek:

    that's really cool man. if you live near where a lot of the hurricanes players live, i bet you live pretty close to Bill Cower too. i think i saw him one time in town. i know he lives in Raleigh.

    and on a side note, we are having a grill/meet/mod day in winston salem this saturday. you should come.

    Dude, Dwight Yoakam is one of my favorite singers ever! One of my greatest regrets is not stopping by his restaurant in Bakersfield!
