About Me

I am an easy going, cheery chap. I have a condo in the suburbs, a one car garage, and burmese beige walls. I am truly happy. I have some amazing friends, far and wide, and we are constantly involved in heroic and epic deeds. I have been known to be given to strong drink on occasion. I like traveling, enjoying the simple pleasure of good food, good drink, and good friends and, sitting at coffee shops. Music is a wonderful thing, I think. I began my collegiate pursuit in the film program, from which I quit in the spring of an early year to pursue a career in that same business. I now find myself, two years later, working in that same job, having learned a great deal, and enjoying myself grandly. I hope to attend the University of Denver to attain a batchelor's degree in organizational leadership. I hope to run a successful business someday, and retire early to travel the world with my beautiful first, and only wife.
