About Me

I love to go fishing, scuba dive, and travel. I have gone to Italy, the Caribbean, Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Vegas, Costa Rica, Hawaii (multiple times), Canada, etc. just in the past 2 years. I just finished my PADI certification for scuba and love the ocean. I collect SHARK things and have 2 shark tats but I am getting one removed. I am an ad exec at the Los Angeles Times handling National Travel Accounts, specifically Hawaii, Mexico, Canada, and Asia and love my job. I get to travel to Hawaii on business often. I have my own apartment in Pasadena and surround myself with friends and wine bars. I do miss my parents who are in Illinois though. Anyone who knows me knows how close I am to my parents and my little bro John Neil who is making us proud as a lawyer for Disney Imagineering in Florida. They are my world! I also have a puppy, Kody, an American Eskimo who I adore and who cheers me up everyday with his curiousity and puppy hugs.(if you have met him you know what I am talking about) Get Your Own | View Slideshow Get Your Own! | View Slideshow Get Your Own! | View Slideshow
