About Me


What can I possibly put in this section to sum up my personality/persona? There are so many little nuances that make up a person’s being. To read and formulate an immediate opinion would be premature. In my experience, the mannerism of one’s self has such an integral part in the overall composition. So with that being said, I’ll give you a brief introduction to the person simply known as “me”.
I can be very guarded, almost borderline defensive and tough to get through. At the same time, once I get to know you, I can be the nicest person you'll ever meet. I have been described to be extremely passionate about everything in life from the way I eat my food to watching a particular movie. The practice of “office politics” doesn’t ever agree with me, but in the end I still sold out to the man and work in corporate America. I can appreciate the simplest, yet most complex things in life and all of the nuances that come along with it. I am often opinionated to the point that I have never adopted diplomacy very well, but at times have been known to sugarcoat my opinions depending on the situation. Oh and I can be a food snob...shouldn't everyone be? Anything else? Just ask and maybe I’ll reveal.
