About Me

I'm very chill, can get riled up about politics, music, and/or religion. Still, I'm probably one of the most mellow people you'll meet. Occasionally hilarious, but at least moderately funny the rest of the time (maybe). I tend to let things roll down my back, but you'll definitely know when you cross the line. I have a degree from Virginia Tech in Psychology, but without my Masters, it really is a BS degree. As a psychologist, I'm always observing people, but I'm not big on classifying people or judging them. Don't ask me if I'm analyzing you. I probably am, but I won't tell you what I find. I was brought up in a United Methodist church, but I am not a "practicing member." (In other words, if the big game comes up, I won't be prepared). I do follow Taoism, and I also incorporate a lot of other Eastern beliefs into my personal philosophies. I've come to the conclusion that most religions are fucked up, but they all mean well. To quote one of my favorite bands "The process of belief / is an elixir when you're weak / I must confess at times I indulge it on the sneak / but generally my outlook's not so bleak."On May 26, 2007 I got married to Karla Hoffman. It was a great wedding, we had a terrific honeymoon, and now we live together without roommates, which is awesome.I do want to go back to graduate school to get my masters degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, but in the meantime, I'm a trainer at Echostar. I've met lots of people there who have become great friends of mine, as well as the many people I made friends with while in college at VT, especially my wife. Mad props to the Posse, the Mafia, and Karla!!
