About Me

What is there to say? I'm an 20 year old male from Waterford, Ct who goes to Virginia Tech. Depending on how you know me I'm either quite quiet or extremely talkative. Either way I'm a bit of an odd ball and lack any tact, either way I don't care. I'm a jack of all trades having done everything from hawk medicine in malls to dig drainage ditches and have done okay for myself in doing so.
