About Me

Just your average guy living in downtown Wilmington, NC. Born and raised here in fact. I'll be making the move in a few weeks to Raleigh, NC. I'm taking a job at a TV station there. Anyway, I'm pretty down to earth, work during the week and try to have some fun on the weekends. This is a short video clip of my nephew Carson and his mother Patricia. He was born on 7/16/06.

My Interests

I enjoy spending time with my friends whether it's just hanging out watching a movie or going out dancing. I like to travel when I have the resources. I usually take one big trip a year. In July of 2005 I went to Aruba and had a blast. The water there was so calm and beautiful. I try to take care of myself by going to the YMCA and exercising. I've been a member there since 1994. I try to go everyday during the week and when I have the motivation I'll go on the weekends.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone I wouldn't be embarrassed to introduce to my parents.Sane, honest, compassionate and a great sense of humor are the big sellers for me. Have those qualities and we'll get along just fine.

Music:

I love pretty much any kind of pop music but Madonna by far is my favorite artist. I have seen her in concert a total of 3 times, once for the Drowned World Tour and twice for the Re-Invention Tour.As much as I love Madonna and pop music I also love Dolly Parton. I saw her in concert a few years ago with my cousin Angie and my great friend Scotty. Of course I couldn't leave out another all time favorite of mine...Cher! She is so amazingly talented and beautiful. I was lucky enough to see her during her Farewell Tour and I was just blown away. It's just too bad she won't be performing anymore.I just recently saw the video for the song below and loved both it and the song. This is "The Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance. I know that I'm probably not the right demographic for this band but whatever.

Movies:

My favorite movie of all time is "Grease." I also love movies that are heavy on special effects.I just recently watched "Donnie Darko" and have to say that it is one of the most interesting films I have seen in a long time. It's one of those movies you need to watch a few times in order to fully understand.

Television:

I totally love "Family Guy" right now. No one can beat Stewie. Couple of other favorites are "My Name Is Earl," "South Park," "The Office," "Project Runway." "The Simpsons" of course is an all time fave. I also love watching pretty much anything on The Discovery Science Channel & The History Channel. I'm a sucker for documentaries on space and history.I'm so in love right now with Kathy Griffin. I think she's the funniest person alive and can't get enough of her show. You must watch it, it's great.

Books:

Unfortunately I don't read much unless magazines count and even then I just skim through the articles and pretty much focus on the pictures. The last book I attempted to read was "The DaVinci Code." I don't know why I didn't finish it I guess maybe because I knew pretty much the entire story already.

Heroes:

I would have to say that my Dad is my hero. He is currently battling cancer, lung cancer to be exact. He originally had a portion of his lung removed back in 2000 due to cancer. In July of 2004 he was diagnosed with another form of lung cancer. This time the cancer had spread to his bones and liver. He has done remarkably well on chemo. Because of all that he has had to go through and his fighting spirit I'd definitely say that he is my hero.
