About Me

Myspace Graphics
Myspace LayoutsClick here to watch 'Red-English'I'm in Miami transcending into the abyss of personal emotional worldly endeavour. Life is a journey and not a destination... So the time to be happy is now. Not when I get this or get that, or once I have that or move there.....hah hah hah... it is all good to be introspective... but people really need to chill on their all encompassing personal vomit and heavy diatribes. Life is good.. I've been in South Beach over 2 years now after living in Orange County and Los Angeles California. The grass is always greener on the other side.. or at least Kentucky blue. I enjoyed Cali.. but always longed to come back to the East Coast. I'm an East Coast Guy. I love my family... I have some really great friends. I miss my best bro Tommy who is still in Cali.. He is my brother from another mother! Miami rocks for sure.. Water everywhere, beautiful people everywhere. It's a true feast for the eyes. So I originally came to Miami to model and I still work occasionally when the money is good and the job is right. However, now I'm now working full-time on site for a new luxury real estate project here in South Beach. It's been so envigorating to stimulate my mind with the challenges I face in the quest for total success. I was a private fitness trainer for a number of years and would definitely say that's an area of expertise. My father and brother own/run a private school in Connecticut for emotionally troubled youths and I help out whenver I can. I was fortunate to have a very humbled upbringing around many such schools my father worked at. He always involved me to whatever extent I was comfortable with from my early years to the present and this played a huge role in the formation of my intellect of understanding and equality for all. I am a middle child... and always pushed the envelope growing up... so I have to let the kid out once in a while. I prefer to let the kid loose on some fitness quest or dancefloor. Anyway.. thanks for reading my little "diatribe" hah Get Your Own! | View Slideshow Home | Browse | Search | Invite | Film | Mail | Blog | Favorites | Forum | Groups | Events | Videos | Music | Comedy | Classifieds
