I am here for Friends

About Me

I have just officially graduated from Ball State University Summa Cum Laude, with a BA in Theatre and a Minor in French. I like to be involved in a lot of different things that challenge me including Marathon Running (Chicago '06: 4:18:59 and Chicago '07: Time Screwed Over By Heat!!), singing, acting, writing, reading, and hiking in my mountains in West Virginia. I'll be honest, I can tend to be pretty much a shy guy until I get to know you, and I absolutly hate confrontations. But I do like being adventurous on occasion and I especially enjoy traveling! I'm ready to see where life's gunna take me!
