I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a 26 year old graduate student at UNC Chapel Hill getting my Master's degree in Educational Psychology. I'm hoping to finish my Master's thesis this May... but we'll see. And in my free time, I'm an Assistant Principal of a school in Cary, NC. Actually, come to think of it, I guess that's not free time. I really don't have that much free time. I enjoy reading, politics, and reading about politics. I'm pretty much just your average, laid-back, run-of-the-mill guy. I'm married to a beautiful woman who loves me. I wouldn't care if every material possession in my life was taken away from me--she's all I really need. I'm originally from New Orleans, which was an interesting city to grow up in. And no, Mardi Gras is not that great when you're in high school. You really have to wait until you're in college to truly appreciate it in all its glory. I went to college at the College of Charleston in Charleston, SC. Made lots of friends for life, had a great time, met my wife. All in all, a pretty productive experience. We absolutely adore the city. I always said it was a lot like New Orleans, only smaller and cleaner. Loved it so much we got married there March of 2006. After graduating in 2003 my wife and I moved to Raleigh and have been here ever since. We like it here, but we hope to move back to Charleston somewhere along the line. And that, folks, pretty much brings us up to speed. div style="text

Someone who challenges me. In a good way, of course.
