My grandpa raised the American flag at an MN Twins game. It was versus the Blue Jays and Corey Koskie rose the flag for Canada. So I met Koskie.

Also, I literally bumped into Burt Rutan at Oshkosh Airventure. He created SpaceShip One.

Shot skis with Mr.Bishop will always be my claim to fame. I've met a lot of known skiers. Henrik Harlaut, Phil Casabon, LJ Strenio, most of the Tabarnak Pack, The Bunch and I think I may be forgetting some. Steve Stepp looked in my direction at an after party one time. So that was kind of cool.

Met the Jonas Brothers in an elevator one time. I've met most of the Buffalo Bills team while training for Rugby. Also met a ton of people when I coached at woodward(gymnastics). Met Marth and Bela Karolyi at Nationals back in 2009. Definitely pretty cool.

Had a few encounters, but the best was chilling with Aesop Rock, just shootin the shit for about a half hour after his show. Really engaging, interesting dude.

Not really a 'celebrity' but i've also met Bernie Sanders on multiple occasions.

I used to work as a home appliance delivery driver/installer for Best Buy (*sigh*) and have actually been in the homes of a handful of celebrities (many of them own vacation homes in Stowe.) Most of the time I only met with the caretaker of the home, only met a couple celebrities in person that way.

Shook Johnny Damon's hand after a redsox game. Walked past Tom Bergeron heading into the former fresh city in Portsmouth, NH (Host of Dancing with the Stars and Americas Funniest Home Videos). He's really short.

I met Trish Stratus and Jason Priestley while working up at Sun Peaks. They were there for a concert put on by Much Music. Jason Priestley is really short, but the woman he was with was hot. I convinced Trish Stratus to buy a horrible Alpine Canada hat and she ended up wearing it on the air.

Apparently two girls from my town went to a Shaggy concert and stayed after by the stage and the manager brought them on the bus. Apparently one got nailed by his manager and the other by Shaggy himself.

Get my haircut at the same place barber as Brad Marchand when he is in town so have met him a few times, have seen crosby in the grocery store, and nathan mackinnon before he was in the NHL.

I dont really care for hockey but the Halifax area seems to spit out NHLers left right and center and they tend to hang around in the off season.

And Chris Hadfield is an adjunct professor for my program, so Ive met/ been lectured by him.

Mark Walburg was on my flight to Hawaii, he then stayed in my hotel. My mom and little brother went swimming with dolphins with Walburg's wife and kids.

3 months later he stayed in the same hotel as my parents.
