World's Tallest Midget

About Me

Well, lets see. I am 25 years old! Wow, I am getting old! I was born in Chicago, Ill., lived there for my first 4 years. Then my family moved to Arlington, Tx. My mom's name is Alicia and she is awesome. So is my dad Timothy, he rocks as well. I really could not have asked for a more supportive and loving family. I feel extremely blessed to have them in my life. My only other sibling in Val, he is 29 years old and lives in the Hollywood Hills. I love going to visit him and live the life of a "rockstar" one weekend at a time. Keep your eyes peeled for our company we founded together V-MODA!! Check out v-moda.com It is going to be huge!! We had two products lauched right now and more to come in the near future. I attended Arlington Martin (Go Warriors), then went off to college at TCU. Oh yea, that is Texas Christian University if you did not know. Go Frogs!! I really miss my college years, hung out with some cool peeps. What was I thinking getting out in 4 years, big mistake!! If you can take at least 5 or 6 years, and enjoy every moment of it. It does not get any better!! Well, in some ways it does! But college still rocked. I am a member of Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity at TCU(Go Skulls). As well as involved in the Air Force ROTC program up there. I graduated in 2003 and commissioned as a Air Force Officer. Then fell off the face of the planet for a few years while at USAF pilot training. Definately the hardest endeavor I have ever tried and accomplished. Currently I reside in Seattle, Wa. Yes, I know, kinda far away from home. However, I make the best of it. It is really cool up here, way different than Texas, but each state has it's benefits!!

My Interests

I am very busy with work, so I do not enjoy these activities as much as I would like. I workout almost religiously, every day. With a few exceptions. I find is a huge stress releaver and gives me time to zone out of life for a while. Always make time to lift weights or go for a run down on the waterfront. I also enjoy mountain biking, snowboarding, water sports, and going out with friends. I am looking into buying a new bike, either a Specialized Stumpjumer or Scott Genius. Not sure yet, if you know anything about them feel free to share your knowledge. I also enjoy traveling all over the US as well as the world. My job takes me to all sorts of places, and I really enjoy experiencing others' cultures to see what it is like. We Americans are so sheltered and ignorant from the rest of the world!

I'd like to meet:

Cool new people on Myspace. Anybody and everybody hit me up!! Hopefully some people around Seattle.

Music:

Listen to a little bit of everything. Favorite band is the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I also like INXS, The Killers, Pearl Jam, Jay Z, U2, Gorillaz, and any House music. Even enjoy some country. Texas country though. Which unless you are from Texas you have never heard of these guys. Check them out, they rock. More like classical rock than country. Way more upbeat! Pat Green, Robert Earl Keen, Cross Canadian, Corey Morrow, and others.

Movies:

Favorite movie of all time is Forrest Gump. I really cannot explain it, I just really love that movie. Close second would be The Godfather II. Really not a huge movie buff or anything. I am not one of those "quote everything" dudes.

Television:

Daily Show, Simpsons, Da Ali-G show, Rome, Cable News, Mad Money with Jim Cramer, King of the Hill, MTV

Books:

I read mostly non-fiction books. I would say about 3-to-1 compared to fiction. "Absolute Friends" and "My Life"are the last two I have read. Currently reading "Millionaire Mind." Don't laugh, my favorite book of all time is "Animal Farm."

Heroes:

My mom, dad, and brother. Great people to have in my life.
