About Me

Texan: Lake Jackson, 1976. My mom's name is Debi and my Dad's name is Dale. I have 2 crazy dogs that like to swim and eat socks. Their names are Gidget and Scooter. I have one tattoo, wouldn't you like to see it?! I like to read, I like to go to shows, I like to be outside and I like to be around water like at the lake, the beach, the river or the pool. I've really gotten into scuba diving in the past couple of years. I travel as much as I can. Remote dive locations are best. If I'm not in or around the water I'm doing something active...running or hiking the greenbelt. That's all you need to know about me...anything else would be too dangerous!
