About Me

I'm an actor living to dream, aspiring to create & encouraging people to feel.


My Interests

My obession: stuffed animals and dolls. Everything from cabbage patch kids and SpongeBob, to Barbie dolls and wild animals. Perhaps this exemplifies my playful side or it may exhibit my insanity. Who knows?

Soap Operas: You may find it peculiar that I regularly watch 4 soap operas back to back on SoapNet, and while doing so, I frequently talk back to the TV. I can't help it. I think it's hereditary. My great-grandmother, grandmother and my mother did it. Oh, and I'm addicted to CNN.


I enjoy college football saturdays TEXAS LONGHORNS ROCK! and NFL sundays GO COWBOYS!

I'd like to meet:

My ancestors. And of course, the Lord above. "When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be!"View All Friends | View Blog | View Pics | Add Comment
