My name is Baxter, and I’ve known from an early age I was destined for greatness.
Winning the Pinewood Derby gave me my first taste of success, joined in later scholastic years by being elected the Prom King. I’ve been to the Playboy Mansion, flown in a stunt plane converted from a WWII fighter craft (piloted by a Space Shuttle astronaut no less), been on a Police ride-along, was “that guy” at corporate Christmas parties, appeared in a Hallmark movie and a steamy adult thriller in the same week, shot an Uzi in the desert, became an ordained Minister online, and have won more 1st place Halloween costume contests than I can count.
What’s more, I’ve done stand-up comedy at the Comedy Store and the Improv in Hollywood, ran onto a Major League Baseball field during play on Opening Day (and made the TV news for it), and met the last surviving Secret Service Agent from the Kennedy assassination. Along the way I’ve managed to meet many of my childhood heroes. I’ve also worked at a film studio in Los Angeles and have been a personal assistant in Phoenix.
The list could go on and on …
And I did all of this without even trying … imagine what I could accomplish if I was a real go-getter!
Originally I was going to write my autobiography, but then I realized it’s still far too unfinished.
Was my High School counselor correct? Or could my 600 fellow classmates have been right when they voted me “most likely to be famous”?
Well, now the fella with the “Bad Decisions Make Great Stories” tattoo wants to settle the bet. So, I sold my house and quit my job to try and answer the age-old question, “Is it better to have dreams of stuff you want to do, or tell the tales of crazy ass shit you’ve actually done?”
After being away from Wisconsin for the last 20 years I’m coming back to see friends, family and drinking buddies before I hit the road to search for Bigfoot, chase some storms and visit Roswell.
Have you ever taken a 12 dollar shower at a truck stop? I haven’t … YET.
