In high school, I got interviewed by the local news for a story about self driven overachieving students, not because I was one of the intended interviewees but because one of the station's film crew members noticed me jotting something down in my day planner while they were interviewing one of the other smarty-pants students in my class.

A couple years ago, I was mistaken by a bookstore clerk for NY Times Best Selling author Brandon Sanderson at one of his book signings. I almost got to impersonate/fill in for another best selling author, Tracey Hickman when he was late for a writing panel at a convention because one of the other panelists heard my story about being mistaken for Brandon Sanderson. Unfortunately, Tracey Hickman showed up moments later and I wasn't needed.

I have published two fantasy novels (A Clouded Skye and Children Of A Clouded Skye, by Talmage Cleverly), have a third novel in the editing stages, and others in various stages of being written.

Is Ashes yours as well, or just a random name overlap? I see Clouded Skye and Childern of a Clouded Skye here in Kobo's store. Might have to pick them up now.

I've been on the front page of the paper numerous times, I was on TV when Romney, Ryan came to Findlay. Thats about it.

I met Steve Mcqueen at the filming of Bullitt at SFO.

I almost was a walk thru in the airport scene but I got busted.

I passed on meeting John Kennedy standing outside our gym. It was lunch time and I was hungry.

The biggest event was meeting Greg Hastings.lol

I was on local TV/radio several times in high school competing in scholarship game shows.

I was pictured and published in a few paintball magazines back in the day.

I used to do bits on local radio, comedy voices and such.

I was once ranked #2 in power breaking (karate) in New York State.

I once stood in line behind Dee Snider at a Denny's in Syracuse, NY.

I have met Warren Haynes, he was really nice.

Yeah...I haven't had very many exciting experiences. Most of these stories are pretty interesting.

I used to work for Jeff Daniels (Dumb and Dumber, The Newsroom)

I've run lights for a couple local bands (Nightside Eclipse, Three Men and a Tenor) I was actually invited to come BACK to the bars we played at, even though I was only 16 at the time.

I used to write editorials for Paintball 2 Xtremes and Scenario News.

I've done a couple local radio commercials when I lived in Michigan.

My girlfriend had a conversation with Bruce Campbell about the baby she was holding for a friend.

I'm in a video that goes around a lot of churches and in the video they ask you who you think god is, and I replied a bored child with an ant farm.

I smoked out jim breuer before a performance down in biloxi and he thanked me on stage during his stand up. That's about as famous as I've ever been.

I hung out with willie nelson once a few years back, and met the guy who was driving grave digger back in 1991

but those two instances don't make me famous, they were just cool.
