About Me

I am about as midwest as can be,and I can't deny my roots however through an act of God, or some random circumstance, I now reside in Mobile, AL. I embrace many things about the dirty south, however..its so hot down here. All in all, I came down here for my first job and things have gone well. Life has thrown me a few loops, but hey such is that thing called life. I have had the greatest opportunities of life. I will hold true though to the fact on Saturdays, there is no greater place than Michigan Stadium. My work is my passion and I live it everyday(and the pay is surprisingly pretty good)I am deeply committed to community and serving others. I work for a GREAT organization in the community development field as we rebuild the HECK out of MS Gulf Coast. On the side, I teach for the Univ. of AL School of Social Work.As Kanye West said,"Our work is never over"
