About Me

I haven't changed this profile in over 2 years, so here goes. I'm not your typical 25 year old guy. I'm a figure skating coach and choreographer and can't imagine ever doing anything else. For being as young as I am as a coahing professional without the aid of being given much, I've worked tirelessly for the 3.5 years I've been in Maryland to bring myself to where I am. I'm not exactly where I want to be yet, but I know I'm not that far away.I'm not really here to impress anyone anymore. I'm becoming pretty impressed in myself and that's good enough for me. Living to live up to other's expectations for 25 years is tiring. Although this was never forced, I did anyway. My bad.I'm a really fun guy. I love to make people smile and love for everyone to have a good time around me. They usually do. I'll always go out on the line for a friend if it's the right thing to do.2007 was a year of discovery. I've discovered that the most important thing to have faith in is yourself and no one can convince me otherwise. I've discovered that no matter how hard I try, I can't make someone like me.. even if I know it's in their best interests :) I've discovered that friendship and love are not automatically reciprical, and that's fine. I like salt, and if I'm forced to take things with a grain or two it'll be alright.2008 is the year of fun.. stay tuned.These girls are amazing. They are all deaf and mute. This is called The 1000- Hand Guan- Yin Dance. It's a pretty cool story. Look it up!
