I am here for Friends

About Me

Grew up in a podunk little Norman Rockwell town in NH. Joined the Air Force to get the hell out. It's taken me around Texas, Virginia, England, and now Colorado. My mood tends to be a direct reflection of my environment. You'll see me smiling most of the time, because I try to leave my problems at home. I've made the greatest bunch of friends imaginable out here in Colorado. Now it's look my path is pointing me towards Austin...
