About Me

The most common question I get is about my "name". One holiday get-together at my parents house YEARS ago, my brother Chris, my niece Hannah and I were playing Scrabble. Naturally, I was winning. It was late and we were getting very tired and silly and just started putting all of our tiles on the board. We created one long word, NOWAXMEFUNFEETS. You know how when you're really tired, everything seems hilarious. Anyway, I started using it as my screen name pretty soon after that and it stuck. The end.
