About Me

I am passionate and competitive. If there are two things I love its comedy and sports. I have great friends scattered all over the country...they are responsible for molding me into the person I am today. My family did a tremendous job of raising me; I hope to take care of all of them someday soon. My career means a lot to me, and I've worked very hard to get to where I'm at, but I have a long way to go. Music is major part of my life and you can usually find me playing a few instruments. I enjoy games that test memory and skill. I'm constantly trying to learn patience. For LA standards, I'm a pretty normal person. I have a large forehead. I like to cook. I don't like the direction our country is going. I love playing softball, the ball is large, easy to hit, and I usually don't hurt myself. Honesty means everything to me. Laughing at yourself is the bigger picture, after that, everything just seems to fall into place...

The Ringer

Sunday Night Ramblings

There is something about Sunday nights...I can never sleep.  Probably because I'm up to un-Godly hours on Friday and Saturday and my body as a result ends up confused.  Usually by Monday I'm...

WHDC Pittsburgh Reunion
