I live in a world of miracles...

About Me


I love my Jesus... and He loves me.
I grew up in a unique city called Boca Raton, FL (aka Boca Rotten) and moved around quite a bit soon after high school. I became a firefighter in the state of Mississippi, but eventually made my way to Mobile, AL. After a heart breaking event, I went back to school where I majored in Sports and Events Marketing. One thing led to another and I now live in Nashville, TN where I'm going to grad school at Vanderbilt and working for the Tennessee Titans .
In my free time I go hiking, rock climbing, caving, and kayaking. There's something about the outdoors that makes me feel a part of the world--a sense of belonging. I also love photography and am just starting to explore the universe of lighting. I coach lacrosse to spoiled rich kids, but I love them as if they were my little brothers.
Some random facts: I prefer mom and pop restaurants to fancy 5 star restaurants. I don't like chocolate ice-cream unless it's Rocky Road (and that's only if there are real marshmellows). I can speak 5 languages fluently. I took a semester off of school to do hurricane relief in the Gulf Coast. I volunteer at an inner city center and work with about 40 kids--I call them my own. I would like to adopt and wouldn't be with someone who won't. I would rather be poor and happy than rich and content. I grew up with Mike Tyson as a neighbor. I love war movies and the occasional chick flick. I eat Asian food when I'm homesick or blue. I would like to live in England for a year. My dream vacation spot would be somewhere in the Mediterranean. I love meeting up with old school friends. I would like to open up a marketing firm or an event productions company. My most prized possession would be a firefighter angel pin that a firefighter from Ladder 1 in NY gave me after 9/11. I am a dreamer. I am an adventurer. I can't wait to have a Great Dane. I ramble a lot when I'm nervous. I can be really shy. I am the life of the party. I love meeting new people. I laugh like a donkey. I can be a bit insecure. I'm very indecisive. I'd rather eat vegetables than meat--not because I'm a vegetarian, but because I think veggies taste better. I still believe in true love. When I am stressed, I crawl into the tub with a glass of wine and Herbie Hancock in the background. I have a couple side jobs that I do to make extra money--booking events, coaching lacrosse, referee flag football, mowing lawns. I love being occupied--it makes me feel productive. I am going to Uganda in the near future. I have a weak heart. I love red wine. I'm allergic to alcohol--sometimes I break out in hives. My idea of relaxing is a trip to the park with a hot cup of tea and a Don Miller book. I fall in love with strangers. Chris and I were friends way before anyone knew him. I still believe there are good people in this world. ( )

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet people with substance--no, not drugs. I want to meet people who have depth and are interesting. I've been 'friends' with pretty people who often get by with their looks or charms... That's pretty lame, and sorta old. I think fame and celebrities are overrated. I do admit that sometimes I get star-struck by people whom I admire the work of, such as: Derek Webb, influential people (anybody in politics, etc.), and people who have changed my life and thought processes (Bobby, Laren, and Jason of IC ). But I would love to have coffee with Donald Miller and hear the many stories he has; have lunch with my grandfather, who passed away when I was too young to remember; go on a road trip with friends that I haven't seen since grade school; celebrate the holidays with anyone whose family consists of at least a dozen children. To be honest, I love meeting new people--anyone. Though I may come off as shy at first, you won't be able to shake me off once I get to know you. ( )

LENT

I'm not Catholic, nor do I understand some of its traditions.  But being that I DO participate in Mardi Gras, I might as well go all out this year.  Well...  What do I give up for Lent?...

Uncategorical and profound to the degree of ignorance, I break lines with broken rhymes in search of the lies of lives that have fallen to the fire of an anemic and depraved state of tragedy that we c...
