About Me


Lets see...I am a TEXAS boy! Born in Abilene, raised in Garland until high school where I attended in Springtown, but moved back home in order to graduate with my childhood friends at North Garland! I essentially grew up in Old School Deep Ellum-Lower Greenville '87 - '94 during the grandiose glory days of the original exploding Dallas scene. I can be downtown-blacktie, country and everything in between all at the same time. Spent some time in Austin and Tyler, but mainly here in every corner of D/FW. I should be moving to London, UK soon as listed below!!!By trade I am a bar/club manager and bartender, as we know which is on temporary hold for a small while! Till then I work as the Director of Business Development with a golf exclusive direct marketing company here in D/FW during season. I work as an affiliate with local ESPN radio, Avid Golfer Magazine, The Ticket and many other various media groups yadda-yadda etc... in terms of marketing and development regarding a variety of sports packages and promotions. I have been in the bar / nightlife industry for over 15 years here in Dallas (some in Austin and Tyler) and seasonaly during spring breaks in South Padre' / Panama City as a bartender , bar manager and the traditionally dreaded "corporate ass" with a select group of companies. Most recently with Hospitality USA / Sherlocks from '02-'07.Beyond the marketing company,....?????.... I am still trying to learn the ins & outs of everything I can in an attempt to open a travel agency sometime in the future for independent travelers like myself! I will be moving to London in the near future for about a year to take advantage of a recent opportunity to travel abroad regarding an international marketing opportunity with a few individuals I have recently been introduced to! I work occassionaly (rarely nowadays) as a promoter for a variety of events, both business and personal. I am NEVER bored!Past that, I guess as briefly possible....I'm a true optimist and a non-hippie free spirited just "go with it" kinda guy. I don't stress out over anything! I am completely OCD in regards to organization and completely spontaneous. I'm an nondiscriminate / equal opportunity quick-whitted smartass. I like to surround myself with very genuine smiling and nonmalicious people. I believe in the theory of Six Degrees of Seperation and prove it on a daily basis. I travel-travel-travel whenever possible and am deep into genealogy and history. I love sports and will play ANYTHING competitevely at the drop of a hat {avid golfer with a "very nice" handicap for those who need a scramble partner for any tournaments}. Beyond that...lets' see... I am a recognized third world economist as well as the Devry University JV Badmitton Team Captain. Through years of study and persistence I have acquired the position of lead triangle / tamborine player with a local up-n'-coming band, and am the acting chairman of Welcome Back...an organization that welcomes past AA and 12 step members to rediscover themselves in a social environment. I also hold the Arctic Baby Seals Club record for being the most outstanding "clubber" of the month!Of course I'm kidding, but wouldn't that be a rather interesting autobiography, I know it's one hell of a resume!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

View All Friends | View Blog | View Pics | Add Comment

NATALIE PORTMAN! As you'll find out if you choose to continue your orientation tour on me, I don't get "star struck" and don't particularly have heroes. So, following that logic...Natalie , in my opinion, is simply as classy and well presented as any lady I would ever care to be involved with....and I believe I would revert back to my childhood shyness if ever faced with the opportunity to meet her! I get frustrated just watching films with her in them. Obsession...?.. most assuredly not! Fascination...? naaaaa! Curious admiration and lil' boy crush...definitely!There's obviously a long list of folks that would be interesting and humbling to meet, but Natalie is holding steady in the number one spot....sha'll she ever be bumped, I'll be posting an engagement announcement!MOVE ALL HTML CODES (IMAGES/WIDGETS/SLIDESHOWS/VIDEOS) BELOW THIS CODE
