I am here for Friends

About Me

I live in Duluth, which is possibly the coolest city on the planet. We even have a T-Shirt that says "Duluth Is A Cool City". I live with my wife Kelley, who is undoubtably the greatest person I could imagine. I am very lucky to have her in my life and I don't know what I would do without her. We have an American Cocker Spaniel named Ellie and she can be a handful sometimes but she keeps us moving.I am sort of a sports junkie so my T.V. is usually tuned in to ESPN and my car radio is always on ESPN radio. Other than that I would say that my life is pretty good. I have a good family and good friends, what more do you need.I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
