About Me

I am openminded...fairly wholesome for having grown up in Los Angeles. I don't eat meat, but the rest of my family does. I am very close to my dogs. I love the rain. I am very loyal, and giving. I am a thinker, and a lover. I was voted "Most Likely to Become Famous" in both elementary and high school. I have a new found infatuation with four wheelers, and a long existing appreciation for words and conversation. I make a lot of jokes...fairly sarcastic. ...Intellectual and entertaining, random, and heartfelt.

My Interests

"And you're right, being a director IS a child's dream. And that's how I know that its real, because it's what I wanted before I knew how to be scared, or cynical."
-Dawson Leary
