About Me

my family is important to me. since giving birth, everything, everything has changed. i'm softer and stronger. the glass is half-full, i know i'm loved, i love hard and true. i really enjoy what i do for work, and i'm eager to get busy again. i've done a lot. a lot. and i'm so grateful. i'm in awe of people who get out of their own way and do what they dream of doing, who don't let fear get in the way of going forward.

here are some fun videos i was in back in the day:
The Toilet Boys' Another Day in the Life

The Lemonheads, Big Gay Heart

Metallica - Whiskey In The Jar
