About Me

i’m teaching high school students in Florida. i love life even though it feels more like death sometimes. i'm a dreamer even when my eyes are open. i long to live a full life with few regrets. i'm a romantic. nothing beats a good book… it’s a journey to a new land and a conversation with a mentor i’ll never meet. i have the greatest brother and sister ever. rainy days are my favorite if i can curl up with a good book and some good tunes… otherwise i prefer the sun. i am desperately hopeful. i’m indecisive. i love learning. i'm a seeker. i enjoy laughing til my sides ache and am always up for a good movie. i like meeting people… everyone has a story to be heard. conversations late into the night are priceless. if you want to know more, just ask. whateverlife.com
