About Me

I enjoy intelligent conversation. However, I DON'T enjoy it with people who refuse to see another person's point of view. I am an accountant. Yes, an accountant. How I ended up doing that, I don't have a clue. I love spending time with my family and friends. I love great music, and the arts in general. I'm passionate about living life to the fullest...going beyond the physical world's limitations to life and faith. I'm an avid reader and try to read at least a couple of books a week. I love watching my children grow up... I've been humbled by their love. I enjoy those moments that only come once in a lifetime. Oh yeah, I LOVE me some college football. GO CANES!!!
