Life moves too fast.

About Me

I love my family and Maggie, and they are the most important things in my life. I have loved Styx since I was 7 years old, when my sister introduced me to Paradise Theater. I have learned that not all of life's traumas are bad. Sometimes you endure pain to come to something much, much better. My nephew, Tab, changed my life and my outlook forever. I have learned that I can put up with children, as long as they are related to me, ha ha. I love my niece and my nephews unconditionally. Life is better with siblings. I would be lost without my sister. For that matter, I would be lost without my parents. My Mom is one of the most kind-hearted people I know. I don't think anyone loves me quite like Maggie does. I have learned that drummers are always a little crazy and passionate (and the best drummers are called "drummers," and not "percussionists.") I have learned that everyone needs a friend like Nancy. :) I am who I was when I was 17, just older and a lot wiser. I no longer try to conform or change myself for anyone.

"Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain, To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices- today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it." - Kevyn Aucoin
