Welcome to my website!

The September 17, 2007 issue of magazine came out, and they had a celebrity lookalike pictorial. It's the issue with Halle Berry on the cover, and I believe the pictorial starts on page 140 - you can see me on page 142. Click on the magazine below to see it...

On Friday, April 27th, Live with Regis and Kelly announced the winner of their Celebrity Look-Alikes Contest, and guess who won?

Did you see the show? If you did, sign my guestbook and let me know!

If you missed it, you can watch the video clips here!

It was totally unexpected - just being on the show on April 24th (Tuesday) was a really great experience for me. Here's a summary of what happened:

• I happened to watch a show where they announced that they were having a Celebrity Look-Alikes Contest. There was an option to enter online, so I said, "Why not?" I submitted 1 photo.
• I received an e-mail from the show, and they wanted me to submit a few more photos, so I did.
• They invited me to appear on Tuesday during Celebrity Look-Alikes week, and I gladly accepted.
• I flew out to NY on Monday, appeared on the show on Tuesday, and flew back to California on Tuesday night. On the plane ride home, they played a movie called "The Pursuit of Happyness" and I watched it. It was about a single father who was homeless at one point. I thought to myself, "Even though it's unlikely that I'll win, if I do end up winning, I should donate some of it to a charity that helps the homeless..."
• On Friday, my sister called me from NJ and said, "Has anyone called you? My mother-in-law said she watched the show, and you won!" I had to watch the show with my own eyes before I could believe it.
• Since I did win and this isn't all just a dream, I will donate half of the prize to a homeless shelter in Los Angeles. God must have heard me when I was thinking that on the plane! I also plan on making a donation to the Tiger Woods Foundation. Since Tiger is the main reason I'm able to do things like this, I feel I should also support his cause. (Update: I donated $2500 to the Union Rescue Mission and $500 to the Tiger Woods Foundation in 2007, and my employer matched both donations to make it a total of $5000 to the Union Rescue Mission and $1000 to the Tiger Woods Foundation! Because of my employer's limit of $3000 per year, I decided to do $3000 in 2007, and I will donate another $3000 in 2008. That way the total amount the charities will receive is $10000 for the Union Rescue Mission and $2000 for the Tiger Woods Foundation - a total of $12,000! I'm glad I work for an employer [The McGraw-Hill Companies] that has this type of matching gift program.)
