About Me

Live in Orlando...."The City Beautiful" The most amazing place to be... Ive been here so long I cant see being anywhere else... I am so infatuated with my city... It is an amazing place... If you have never been I suggest you enjoy it... it is not huge but very much alive..The only spot to be...----------------------Few things most people dont know or have not really been exposed to about Big Country. I am a trained Chef..... I spent many years working in the culinary industry, where I used my passion and artistic side to create amazing works of art.... I have cooked for the astronauts that walked on the moon ( actually cooked at NASA) and have been on CSPAN doing so.... I worked with some of the greatest minds in Culinary..... I have been on the cover of magazines for my skillz as a Chef.... I do miss the adrenaline rush of the line and the ability to be really creative with the food and make crazy masterpieces.....-------------I am a Cigar Connissuer and a huge fan of wine and martinis.... I am a business proffesional who is constantly working on something for business.....I am working very hard to become the person I have always dreamed of being... Proffesionally and Personally... But it is a time consuming process of elimination... for without growth... only the memory would remain... I am typically a person who enjoys just having a good cigar........And being myself... something I loose track of from time to time... but we are definatly fixing that....--------------I have the greatest friends in the world.... And they all know I can accomplish anything I put my mind to......If they didnt believe in me, I dont know where I would be.....--------------Ever since my accident on Nov 4th.... I have had to really stop and evaluate my life and whats important to me.... And my friends and family are the most important thing in my world.... One day I hope to find a girl to add to my things I really care about.... But women are not nearly worth the effort usually..... If I could find a decent one I would consider trying to settle down and have something serious......-----------------Its been a little over a year since that accident... I still ride with a passion I never had... an understanding that death is right around the corner... a belief any kick of the clutch up or down could be my last... I love the feeling I get from the ride... there is no feeling like it in the world... that addrenaline rush you attain from kicking gears and dumping the clutch... its better then sex... its a more intamate feeling... its you and the machine... Ive learned alot since then... alot of bout life... alot about love.... and alot about myself... I never loose track of the fact that any minute it could be over... and its the understanding of that which is teaching me not to have any regrets... without regrets life is what it is... and I am in the process of truely understanding what it is... Im not in business for the money... will it make life a little easier yes... Im in it to prove to myself I am here for something greater then I ever imagined... something greater then any of you could ever imagine... New Big is not the same as old Big... a little less Nieve and a whole lot more focused.... a little more driven then before and a lot less blind to where we are going... Ive been molded and shaped by alot of things and people... some I will never forget... Some I wish I could wake up and it never have been... or atleast the hurt that came from it... the experience is always great... and the people minus the pain are some of the most amaizng on the planet... but Im not in a shortage of people or friends... its the experience that we are short.... I know where I am coming from... but have no freaking clue where I am going... and for the first time in life... that fine... Im just being me.... and this is it ladies and gentleman... this is what you get... nothing is being held back in this case... why hold back..... It is what it is... and you are what you are... ------------

My Interests

Business,Music, Movies, Women, Cars and Bikes, Not in that order.... I am starting to come into an understanding of whats important to me... and really only a few of these are important... Business is probably my favorite thing on this list actually....

I'd like to meet:

Im not really looking to meet anyone in perticular... I am just a person who enjoys people... I am a people person... Its amazing... That all this time I wasnt looking for anything and all I ever seem to find is pain... maybe if I broaden my understanding that I need not anyone thing or person... I will continue to grow... so in that case... I dont really need to meet anyone but I am up for anything....

Music:

U name it I listen to it... But some outlines would be - Kanye West, Five Bolt Main, Rage against the Machine, FLAW (We will miss you Flaw), The Cure, Depeche Mode, Cold, Common, Mos Def, Ludacris, CrossFade, Anything Neptunes or N.E.R.D., 311, Joss Stone, Dave Matthews Band, Omarion, Non Point, 2Pac, Biggie, Marvin Gaye, John Coltraine, Sublime, Jay Z, Jamie Foxx, Twista, Paul Wall, Nas, Miles Davis, Brian McKnight, Charlie the Bird Parker, Maxwell, Staind, Sevendust, Pitbull, Ying Yang Twins, (All that dirty south stuff) and NIN.

Movies:

Love Movies thats it....I am a huge movie fan..... I am just into the art in so many ways....

Television:

Not so much into TV anymore unless its a Football or Basketball Game... or Entourage... maybe some Wild N Out... or just movies I missed in the theater.... more into having fun and enjoying myself....

Books:

Rich Dad Poor Dad...... Bad As I Wanna Be...... How To Get Your Point Across in 30 Seconds... Its not about E-Commerce its about R-Commerce.... Pour Your Heart into it... The Precious Present... Im reading more now then I ever have... Im reading about 2 books a week... which is amazing for me who hates reading... but I learn so much about life and business in the pages of these amazing works of art....

Heroes:

Dennis Rodman....... Donald Trump........Terry Brock........
