you could use the asp.net Memberhip Profiles. but I find it to be very limiting. For my last project, I created a separate table with specific columns to hold the extra data. the PK was the username. then I would simply query for the custom properties.

var profile = context.Set<Profile>().Find(User.Identity.Name);

You may also want to take a look at the Universal Membership Provider. It's much more flexible than the asp.net membership provider.
