About Me


Go visit my Flickr for more photos!
I was born in Amish Country, PA, grew up mostly in a suburb of Detroit, and now I live in Florida after transferring from Liberty University in Virginia. I've always been pretty independent and I love to travel. I'm getting married in September to my wonderful fiancee Caleb, and I can't wait. These days I'm usually in class, working on Graphic Design stuff, or working at the Downtown B&B where I live. It's a pretty sweet deal. I love records, old movies, Netflix, reading for hours in Barnes and Nobles, riding my bike, cooking and knitting. When I graduate from Flagler next May, I'll hopefully be working for a design firm in Jacksonville and helping Caleb with the kids at Crescent Beach (where he's the children's minister).

My Interests

God, art, Caleb, graphic design, photography, surfing (learning anyways), reading, knitting, snowboarding/skiing, used bookstores, vintage anything, interior design, the beach, cooking, silly parties, travelling

I'd like to meet:

I've discovered more and more that the media likes to stamp everyone with "Democrat" or "Republican." You're either one or the other--or you're a nut. Well, as conservative as I am (I plan on becomin...
