I'm 37 years old and I live in Raleigh, NC. I grew up in the mountains of North Carolina in a medium sized town called Hendersonville, raised by 2 wonderful parents.I spend most of my time working at a local data center and singing with my friend Travis Proctor at local Raleigh bars and restaurants 2-5 nights per week. It's a lot of fun. Sometimes we sing together as a duo and other times we sing as a band called the Groove Riders.I also spend a lot of time with my 3 little neighbor girls, I love listening to them express themselves, their stories, dancing, gymnastics, bike riding, skate boarding, playing in the snow, swimming. Watching them develop and grow into strong, confident young women is very rewarding. I try to be a positive influence for them.Sailing is a hobby of mine and I try to sail as much as possible with friends in Washington, NC where I know several people at different marina's there. Sailing is DEFINITELY the way to go!Traveling is also another favorite thing to do. I've visited: Israel, Spain, Italy, Holland, Singapore, Jamaica, Mexico, Grand Cayman, Puerto Rico, Saint Thomas and The Bahamas. Several of these places I've visited more than once. This summer I plan on taking my Mom to England where she used to live for 2 years around 1953-1954. My DREAM vacation will be to someday visit Greece and sail to the different islands off the coast of Greece and then also I want to visit Africa on a safari someday as well.I'm very selective when it comes to friends and people that I let into my life. To me, it's all about quality versus quantity.I LOVE to have fun and I'm frequently told that I bring the fun wherever I go (which I consider a great compliment). I have a very positive outlook on life, often choosing to look at life with humor whenever life throws the occasional curve ball.Several of my mottos that have gotten me through tough times are: killing enemies with kindness, always taking the high road, pull up your big girl panties and deal with it, choose carefully the friends that you keep in the front row of your life, and if you can't see the bright side of life - polish the dull side.Life is all about the experiences, good and bad. Savoring the good times and learning from the tough times. I hope to someday look back at my life with no regrets about experiences that I've missed out on. There are many things on my list that I have left to experience. I look forward to the future and what lies ahead.
