Who is "The Icon" you ask?
well here is the super long "blah blah" about me, which will most likely be scrolled over but hay isn't myspace all about bragging anyway? hahaha ;)OK, well i'm 6ft1", 215 lbs solid steel baby! I work out every day for around 1.5 hrs. I have a bachelors degree in Mathematics and a bachelors degree in Computer Science. I also have a masters degree in IT (information technology) I enjoy playing basketball and broomball, and i was the captain of my intramural basketball team "TEAM HOLLYWOOD" we won the championship for 4 years in a row. We were so good we even had our own personalized cheerleading squad "The Hollywoodetts" haha! - oh those were good times. I also was the captain of my broomball team "TEAM CUPCAKE" and we won that for 3 years in a row.
I love going to any basketball court and I cannot resist a good game of basketball. Not only do I enjoy the sport of basketball, but every time I play, I remember the great times growing up that I shared with my father, playing basketball.
I was also a resident assistant for 3 years at my college, i was involved in numerous clubs such as SGA (student government association), a computer science club, the resident assistant/mentor board. I was in the Math honor society Pi Mu Epsilon. I won a competition at my college for highest grade earned in the whole university for Calculus II (the Charlie Smith award). Yup I am an athletic supernerd!!! I planned numerous programs for residents of the college dorms and always tried my best to get everyone to have a good time.
What do I do for a living? I'm a technology teacher at a middle school! Teaching seriously is the best job on the planet - actually I never imagined that I would be a teacher! I was blessed with this opportunity and I am enjoying it. I see the real reason why teachers love their jobs - YOU GET THE WHOLE SUMMER OFF AND U STILL GET PAYCHEKS!! W00T W00T!!! WHO ON THIS PLANET COULD EVER COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT!
In all honesty, teaching has been a wonderful experience. I realize now why so many people have such a passion for being a teacher. It is very rewarding to see the positive impact you can have on other peoples lives, and to know you are making a difference for the better for the world.
About my fam: I am the oldest of 9 children!!! I have a very strong love for my family. Although they might not know it due to the amount of teasing I am constantly dishing out hahah! But thats what you have to do when you are the oldest of the crew! MAKE THOSE SUCKAS PAY THE OLDER BROTHER TAXES HAHAHAHA! I have 6 sisters and 2 brothers + me = 9 kids! We are all about 1.5 yrs apart in age from one another. My family is very tightly knit, especially due to the passing of my father 5 years ago. April 19th, 2001, the day after my bday. Even in his 50's that man could still hit every jump shot he ever took. Not a day goes by that i dont remember him.
I also have a stepsister and my mother is now married to Jim, who has been really great and supportive to the fam.

ok well, i dont want all of you to think i am a complete crayzee, so i will just tell you that yes i can be serious and hold serious conversations. Obviously, i do like to have fun and fool around and joke around, and i hope you do as well. i can pretty much find humor in anything, so dont be afraid to talk to mebtw wanna see my hot car? Its on this webpage: its a 1985 honda crx convertible, specially made in california (honda never made a convertible crx).http://www.cardomain.com/ride/434210 yah i rule, its 1 out of only 10 made, and it is sweetsauce. one of the main reasons i enjoy this car so much: my father found it and gave it to me. So not only is it one-of-a-kind, but it has sentimental value as well.
and finnally, about my personality: I try to do what i can to do the right thing and be a good person. I believe that i am a very determined person, and that when i put my mind towards something, i will achieve my goal. If i make a committment to something, i will keep that committment and my word. I believe that being trustworthy and committed to things are very, very important. I always try to keep my word and be an honorable person with integrity. I believe although i joke around often, that i am a very sincere person. I enjoy surrounding myself with genuine, honest and caring people. I try to go out of my way to show others that i care and my actions match my words. i do not believe in quitting.
a couple of sayings i have learned over the years are: "do unto others as you will have them do unto you" - very true. karma is real. i try to output positive energy because it is the right thing to do.
"you can only trust others as much as you trust yourself" - while this statement may only be true 95% of the time, if you really think about it on a deeper level, it is usually true.
"where there is a will, there is a way." - very true. if you really want something out of life, make it happen!!!never give up!! only with dilligence will you ever really get what you crave from life. if your will is strong enough, the goal you have set can be attained.
