About Me


Hello. I am 35 years old and live in the "Valley of the Sun" Phoenix, Arizona. I have lived in Arizona for the last three years and lived in the Southwest for 11 years now (Arizona and New Mexico). Growing up I was a Military Brat (US Air Force Brat) and I lived all over the United States and in Japan. I graduated High School in 1991 at Suitland High School in Suitland, Maryland. I received my Associates Degree at Clovis Community College, Clovis, NM in 2000. I continued my education at New Mexico Highlands University in Las Vegas New Mexico where I received my Bachelors of Social Work in 2002 and Masters of Social Work in 2004.
Currently I work as a Medical Social Worker at a local hospital in Phoenix working in an Acute Rehab Setting. I have 10 years experience in Healthcare mostly in a Social Service Setting and 5 years experience as a Social Worker. I enjoy what I do and I enjoy advocating for others in the community. I am a member of the National Association of Social Workers and Case Management Society of America.
When I am not working I enjoy to travel, sightsee, hang out with my friends and meet new people. I also like to eat out at good restaurants, go to a good movie, watch sports especially baseball and ice hockey (yes they play that in the desert also)or just hang out at a coffee shop for a good cup of coffee. If I am not doing any of that you usually will find me online or watching something good on TV at home.
My parents live in Clovis, New Mexico. I have a sister and a brother who are both younger then me. My sister and her family live in Clovis, New Mexico, and my brother and his son lives in Washington State.
So as you can see I have traveled around and now I am a Medical Social Worker working in Phoenix, Arizona. Please feel free to contact me if I knew you from my past or if your interested in meeting a new friend. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I would like to catch up with my old friends and meet new friends. Hope to hear from you soon.

I have many friends that I have met throughout life and they all mean a lot to me. The three friends I have known the longest are Nancy, Dave and James.

I have known Nancy for almost 20 years. She is my close and best friend. We met on Prodigy (a very slow version of the internet 1200 Baud if you can remember that long ago) and our friendship has grown over the years.

I have known Dave for almost as long. We were in Boy Scouts and Order of the Arrow together and became best friends. He is still in Washington DC and a great friend. (Maybe one day he will get a myspace page)Finally my best friend James I have known for about 15 years and he also is a great friend. He lives in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

All my Top friends on myspace are close to me so feel free to ask me about them or check out thier profiles.
