Umm... Closest thing to fame was that I was in a paintball scenario game (you camp out and play one huge 24 hour game all based on a scenario) and I was the captain of Alpha Company. My squad, under my direction was named most valuable company and my cousin and my second in command was named MVP and was pictured in a nationally printed paintball magazine (forget which, my copy is on a bookshelf in my room). Also, you can see part of my head in the picture, and my right ear if I recall correctly.

Wrote an article for a contest here actually. And got it published in some magazine that's currently tucked away in a drawer somewhere. It was... poorly written and the grammar was painful to look at it. I think it was a random draw

Does being on COPS and wearing a 'wife beater' count?

That's awesome, man! Sounds like a lot of fun too!

umm I was on the news once about adoption and the red tape required to be adopted (I was in foster care for just shy of 8 years before I was finally able to be adopted).

I also had an article about me on the front page of the Grand Rapids Press Sports section. Matter of fact I got it tucked away somewhere. The article took 3/4's of the page

Hrm...I was working at a summer camp for children, trying to teach them the basics of guitar (in one weeks time, that didn't go over too well). A news crew did a short interview of me, asked what I was doing, what I was teaching, my name, etc. and then I played 'Ode to Joy' on the guitar for them and that was that. That's my 15 minutes of 'fame'.
