I have always been one of those people who have always been lucky enough to live their dreams. Alot of crazy shit has happened to me, both good and bad, yet somehow I always manage to land on my feet. I try to keep moving forward and never look back. I have a great family who has always supported me and my decisions, no matter how stupid they may be. I was a competitive gymnast for 14 years. I traveled all across the country for meets and camps. In 1990, I beat a member of the 1988 Olympic team on vault in an international meet in Arizona (I will be telling that story untill the day I die...LOL)! I went to college for gymnastics for a little while. After not seeing "eye to eye" with the coach, I quit the team and retired. I then went to the University of Florida for four years...Go Gators. I started surfing and sometimes I even went to class. Not often but sometimes...LOL! I've been surfing in Costa Rica, Mexico, California, Maryland, and all over Florida. I went on a surf trip to Baja with 4 friends, and my van broke down. We got stranded there at the beach for 5 weeks. We ran out of food after ten days. The locals felt sorry for us and would bring us food. Great story! In Gainesville, I really got into the underground music scene. I was a frequent visitor at Simon's and any house party I could find or throw. Started hanging out in Orlando alot for parties. The Edge raves, JJ Whisper's, the Firestone, and of course UltraViolet's!!! Almost died in Gainesville. I had an accident that would forever change me. It's a crazy story! I started two different clothing companies. A surfware company called Entropy Industries. Did that for a few years. Later, I started a skateboard clothing company called APB Sportswear. Basically, both companies were an excuse for me to party alot. Most of the guys I used to sponsor are now all big time industry guys. Right Matlin? These days I work for the Post Office and I'm not really sure what tomorrow will bring. I kind of like that! I surf whenever I can, but my work schedule sometimes makes that difficult. I started snowboarding and now I'm completely hooked. I always try to keep a smile on my face. I have a terrific sense of humor. I'm always telling jokes and funny stories, and I usually laugh at them the hardest! I'm really friendly, and I have no problem meeting people. I have lots of friends and I'm always ready to make new ones. If you ever see me out- come up and say hi. I'll probably make you laugh and talk your ear off.
