About Me

For the third year I will be cycling 180 miles from Houston to Austin in support of finding a cure for Multiple Sclerosis. Please click on the following link to support my ride!
"Do you spend time with your family?...Good. Because a man that doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man." -Godfather, Part I
"It is not the critic who counts...The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who does actually try to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiam, the great devotion, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly." -Teddy Roosevelt
"I hate losing more than I like winning." -Stephen McGee, Texas A&M Quarterback
"No matter what you do or achieve, your life will be neither truly successful nor truly complete unless it includes significant service to others." -Bob Gates, Secretary of Defense (former TAMU President)

If it has to do with Fightin' Texas Aggie Athletics, I am all over it, but watching a game at Kyle Field can always light up my weekend if the drinks at the tailgate didn't before hand.

You Are Guinness
You know beer well, and you'll only drink the best beers in the world. Watered down beers disgust you, as do the people who drink them. When you drink, you tend to become a bit of a know it all - especially about subjects you don't know well. But your friends tolerate your drunken ways because you introduce them to the best beers around.
