The only people who have my name are:
1: A crackpot free energy antigravity mad scientist/inventor 2: A football player 3: The worst IT technician in the state of Texas
At various times in my life I have been mistaken for 1 and 3.
I was invited to (and attended) the LENREW conference in Maryland as a teenager thanks to #1, and I lost out on several pay raises and promotions (and was asked to, on my own time and dime, to drive several thousand miles round trip to Texas to pick up a mis-shipped laptop, which I declined to do) thanks to #3.
I've got a small time lawyer in Florida. It's nice because it overshadows anything I've got on the web for the most part but innocuous enough that there's no crossed traffic or anything.
From the Google alert I have on my name I see some small time politicians but then one guy who’s been CEO at several major Fortune 500 companies. Once when I was unemployed and saw he was starting at CEO at a different company I thought it would be funny to show up the same day and see if I could get a job out of it.

Come on, I'm not quite that bad.
I just want to talk
