Well, I'm 28 years in to this crazy roller coaster of a life and am really enjoying myself. There were many obtacles to conquer, but all of them were great lessons learned. I have a beautiful 6 year old daughter named Myah, who just so happens to be my main inspiration for everything I do. My blood is Irish, but rarely do I have the luck. I believe that if I want something, it's not just gonna fall in my lap, I've got to work my ass off to get it, and I have no problem with that. The rewards are that much more meaningful. I co-own a special makeup effects company called Simulated Image Creations with my partner Dustin. We recently finished a 9 month long project in Cairo, Egypt. It's a beautiful, yet crazy place to live, but the people i've met and the experiences I've had there are priceless. I've got some of the greatest friends all over the world, and each one represent a part of my life. A timeline of memories shared that i'll never forget...unless I get Alzheimer's :) I dedicate my life to being a great daddy, and special make-up effects artist, and the rewards of that dedication are already starting to pay off. Oh, and i'm a Chicago Cubs fan, which basically means i know how to never get my hopes up. :-) my monkey with her monkey :) Future make-up artist at work! All growed up. :0

Happy Birthday my darling!

My daughter Myah just turned six years old today. Where the time went between now and the day I first held her in my arms I don't know. She was so teeny and helpless then and it took a combined effort...
