About Me

I live in Currituck, and work in Camden, NC. I am very focused on my career. When I am not working I really like to cut loose. Old friends would describe me as a bit crazy...okay extremely crazy, but now matured. On occasion I like to go out and party with my friends. I absolutely love being outdoors and on the water. I enjoy all water related activities including scuba diving, fishing, waterskiing, swimming, sailing, jet skiing, boating, skinny dipping....the list goes on. I am physically active (swimming, running & riding). I like to tease others and to be teased. I appreciate humor in all aspects of life. I enjoy laughing with others, and I can even laugh at myself ; ) I love animals, particularly Labradors. Recently decided that I want a female chocolate Boykin Spaniel. Very close with my family. I am a huge ECU football fan. I enjoy tailgating and catch most of the home games. I enjoy camping & fishing, but also like putting on a suit/tie and going to Broadway, etc.. Love the mountains, hiking & snow skiing. I enjoy traveling & seeing live music, and unfortunately, I dance like Mr. Pickles. HA!

My Interests

Water, Diving, Triathlons, Boating, Pirate Football, fishing & duck hunting, live music, growing stuff, cooking, eating in or out, sushi, red wine, crisp clean sheets, salt air, warm weather, sunrises....

I'd like to meet:

Anyone with their head on squarely.....people who are ambitious and set out to achieve their goals. On a lighter note I would like to be reunited with my dear departed squirrel, Rockette. Cheers Baby.
