I am here for Friends

About Me

I am the second of three sons born to two very loving parents. I play RUGBY for Northern Kentucky's best men's league team...okay...we're the only team in NKY. I prefer working to live and not living to work. But at the same time I hope to someday look back on my life as a wonderful peice of work. I'm currently pursuing a degree in International Studies focusing on the Middle East and Arabic. I should finish with that in December. Hopefully I'll be able to find a job that always causes me to say "I can't believe I get paid to do this." My goals in life are to travel and do good things. - This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? using original artwork by Marah Johnson. Go get one!
