About Me

I am a pretty normal guy, if there is such a thing. I have been really lucky with all the wonderful experiences that I have had, and all the amazing people I have met. I believe that everyone has a story to tell and everyone is worth listening to. I love helping people and try to put a smile on everyone’s face that I come in contact with. Life is what you make of it and it's too short to be a downer. If you always look at the bad stuff then that’s all you will ever see. Want to know anything else about me, just ask. :o)
