About Me

I am a Ticket Specialist at Disney's Wide World of Sports. You can say I like sports just a little:) ....I work some great people and they are fun to see everyday. I do love my job since it revolves around sports, what else you think I'd be doing:). It does have crazy hours and nothing is more fun then watching drunk softball players play softball at 2am in the morning. I live in Clermont and every day is fun! When I'm not working I like playing my gamecube, watching NHL Center Ice to catch the Carolina Hurricanes, taking surveys, volunteering or visiting the parks....... My teams are as follows NFL:Giants, Bucs, MLB: NY Mets NHL:Hurricanes , NBA: Magic NCAAF:PSU, NCAAB: UCONN .....I do bleed Blue Jay blue for my alma mater. Go Blue Jays!. I enjoy going to the Ale House and sporting events. I love Sportscenter, NFL Primetime and College Gameday! Chris Berman is my hero in sports! Although, I have many close seconds. I met the great one Muhammed Ali and Michael Jordan. I like to drive on highways and going to a beach in September (its nicer then). I love my family and friends and don't know where I would be without them. I am highly motivated and goal oreintated and dedicated to getting a job done right the first time. I treat every friend as my best friend, I like to get to know people on a level deeper then just the surface.
