When he’s not slinging your gelato, he’s probably strumming his guitars.
What do you do for fun?
I like to try to relax – and usually fail. I’m always out-and-about. I play a lot of music, watch a lot of movies.
What instrument do you play?
Guitar. Give me a guitar and I can play it. I have a bunch of guitars, which I’ve named.
Oh yeah? What are their names?
Well, the two I play most are Roxanne and May Belle. Roxanne’s a pretty name from the Police song. And May Belle was inspired by a World War II plane that was on display at the air show once.
Do you usually play solo or with a band?
Usually solo. Sometimes I jam. One time I performed in a band for a musical — High School Musical, actually. While not normally my type of play, it was a rock band, and the people were awesome. I loved it.
What is your favorite type of music?
I love to play blues rock. If I’m listening, it’s the Beatles above all else.
What’s your favorite movie?
My all-time favorite is The Fountain. Casablanca is another favorite. I watch a lot of foreign films, too. If the were good enough to make it across the ocean, then they’ve gotta be decent.
Assume, for a moment, that you and you guitar are stuck on a deserted (desserted?) island with one flavor of The Gelato Fiasco. Which one should it be?
Toasted Coconut. It’s just delicious, and it will also suit the mood.
What’s your top Gelato Fiasco beverage?
It’s a tie between a Red Eye Chai or Mocha Caramel Latte. I love chai; if it has a little kick, I’m always for it. And chocolate and caramel is an awesome flavor. It’s like eating a candy bar – it’s just perfect.
Who’s your favorite superhero?
Dr. Horrible. Actually, he’s a supervillain. He’s from the web video called Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. It stars Neil Patrick Harris, and he’s the man.
What’s your Gelato Fiasco fantasy?
If Paul McCartney came into The Gelato Fiasco and asked me to serve gelato and have a conversation. Then Ozzy Ozborne would come in and give me a giant high-five. We’d all talk about how much we love toasted coconut.
We’d have to build a marquee outfront for Paul to play on.
That’s right. And we’d put up a sign: Paul McCartney was here.
