You've got to understand, I've drank a lot this summer.

About Me

I'm not good at talking about myself, but here is a bit about me. I'm extremely motivated and thrive off of creating results and seeing progress. I'd consider myself pretty laid back, which can be mistaken for indecisiveness! I can be really outgoing at times, but then sometimes I play the role of the wallflower. It all depends on my mood. I generally love spending time with friends and meeting new people, but I also find isolation refreshing once in awhile!I grew up in the barren land of North Dakota, and completed the five-year plan for Mass Comm. and Speech Comm. at NDSU in Fargo. I work in artist development and music booking at an agency just north of Nashville.I love music, obviously, and I usually jump at the chance to see bands and artists at a club, concert, or festival. I also enjoy indulging in various adult beverages.....most recently Crown 'n Sevens, Boxed Wine, and Miller Lites.I'm an avid runner (constantly looking for my next marathon to run), I love watching professional wrestling, I loook forward to the opportunity to go on long road trips, and I also enjoy flying and traveling...
