I am the product of two very beautiful and unique people I am lucky enough to call my parents. I have had the opportunity to experience many unique cultures, which has definitely helped shape who I am. Raised in the South, I believe in "true Southern Gentlemen and Southern Belles" and some cultural necessities such as iced tea; the Derby, complete with big hats and mint juleps; and not wearing white after Labor Day. However, I am much more liberal and open-minded than most Southerners- albeit I do speak with a Southern accent. Culture, art, fashion, beautifully presented food, and intense wines intrigue me. I have two sides: the logical, analytical side and the creative side. I attempt to satisfy both sides on a daily basis. I have traveled to many far-away places, but I have not seen all that I want to see. I strive for excellence and encourage those around me to do the same. I love to laugh and to make other people laugh. Only you can make yourself happy...and when you're happy, you can conquer the world.
