About Me


Sometimes I like sitting under the stars and watch the nightly planes fly by to break up the silence. Always looking for a good time with (new) friends. I have been on this photography kick lately as I just picked up a new lens and have been planning new adventures for the first half of the new year. Not much else is going on other than the usual new year stuff... eat lots, exercising it off, playing hockey, laughing a lot...laughing is good medicine. Favorite cuisines include Italian and Japanese food. Haven't had my share of wines this year but a Cabernet is always good stuff. Yes, I do have a sister...she is The Wiser, I'm just her dorky / techie / artsy little brother. I'm a curious animal...I like to hear good stories and learn whenever I can. Anything else you want to know, just message me.
You are Schroeder!
