I had quite a few idols growing up, but as I got older, i could never "get into" anything or anyone enough to look up to them too much.
The closest I come to that now is my wife. She is extremely smart, direct, awlays says what she thinks, puts our daughter above all else, even when she probably should put her self first, she managed to lose an amazing amount of weight, which is no small thing, especially since she was horribly overweight as a kid (anyone who had weight problems as a kid knows how hard that is to conquer), and never did anythign stupid like fad diets or starving herself, she just exercized and moderated what she ate.
I married an amazingly cool, beautiful woman who will hopefully get to go back to school and get her master's and doctorate soon so she can have a wider impact than just our family.
I'm just a big dork who likes computers.
Oh, and I look up to H P Lovecraft and Bob Salvatore when it comes to writing, Salvatore got me into writing in the first place, and Lovecraft got me into horror writing.
