About Me


ClICK TO VIEW MY PORTFOLIO
You might just find a picture of yourself...

I have spent the past 5 years retraining my body to walk after I suffered a spinal cord injury in a car accident. I broke my spine and had it fused back together with some really expensive medical procedures and have worked very hard to walk away from a situation I was literally "thrown" into, but now I can say I worked my way out of the wheelchair the doctors told me I would be confined to. I moved from my home town of Charlotte to the town of Orem Utah so that I could attend an intensive workout program that specialized in helping parapalegics and quadrapalegics learn how to realize their dreams and live as normal a life as humanly possible.

I am no longer restricted to a wheelchair and have stopped using any canes while I walk. I may be slow but I'm doing it on my own.

I graduated with an AAS degree in graphic design from Utah Valley University and moved back to Charlotte with my parents for now while I am on the hunt for the "dream job." My future is being determined every day and I am deadset on making it the way I want it and not accepting the fate that has been dealt to me.

My Interests

I am extremely interested in all things realted to art. I am finishing up my associates degree in graphic design at Utah Valley University. I am a huge fanboy, meaning I enjoy art from comics, manga, magazines, movies, and any where else creative images may surface including this wonderful place we call the internet. I have always had a passion for reading, be it novels or magazines, if it holds my interest I read it. Computers fascinate me to no end. Music is a large driving force in my life as it motivates me to work. I am very interested in money, women, and the combination of the two in various activities.

I'd like to meet:

Jim Lee • Joe Madureira • Mike Judge • Stan Lee • Steve Jobs • Stephen King • Raven Riley • Bruce Willis • Patrick Stewart • Jonathan Davis • Cytherea. Nuthin but Porn Stars, Actors and Artists...I'm a sick puppy.

Music:

Three Eleven • Tool • Linkin Park • Korn • Nonpoint • Godsmack • Mudvayne • Disturbed • RITM • Jackal and Hyde • Pink Floyd • Outkast • Kanye West •Fort Minor • Lords of Acid • Radiohead • Methodman • Portishead • Static X • Rage Against the Machine • Sublime • Sneaker Pimps

Movies:

Xmen • 300 • Transformers • Kill Bill • The Crow • Pulp Fiction • The Ring • Ninja Scroll • American History X • Seven • Reservoir Dogs • Spawn • The Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind • Being John Malkovich • A Scanner Darkly • Superbad • Knocked Up. I want a movie to totally hold my attention and to entertain me for the entire time its on. If I wish it was over then it never should have started.

Television:

Dexter • Californication • The Office • Heroes • Entourage • My Name Is Earl • 24 • Curb Your Enthusiasm • Attack of the Show • Lost, South Park • Dave Chappelle • FOOTBALL • C.S.I. • The Discovery Channel • American Chopper • Dirty Jobs • Flip This House • Mythbusters

Books:

Everything Stephen King writes is incredible, but especially The Stand. Dean Koontz is decent at drama. I loved The Da Vinci Code as well as Angels and Demons but can get very tired of Dan Brown's style. Fantasy like Dragonlance or Vampire/Werewolf books are usually good depending on the authors interpretation. Margaret Weis. Tracy Hickman. Anne Rice. Mostly Horror mixed with Drama and Fantasy, I want a book to show me a world I can't see with my own two eyes.

Heroes:

Those people who overcome adversity everyday.
