I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I grew up on the Carolina coast in Wilmington, and currently live in the capital city of Raleigh. I met my husband, Jason, via Match.com and we dated for three and a half years before tying the knot. Jason is in a band called Bind , which is listed in the music area here on Myspace. Definitely check them out!

Instead of having kids, Jason and I have two cats. Brea is a big fat fluff ball and Tux is cute, chubby and scared of almost everything.

I love playing pool, hanging out with my friends and talking politics. I am a Libertarian and could go on forever about all of the reasons why the Libertarian Party is the by far the best political party out there. If you are not familiar with the LP, you should definitely check out the LPNC website as well as LP.org .

Jason and I also love to travel. In the last few years, we've gone near and far to places such as Asheville, Charleston, Hilton Head, Savannah, New York, DC, Hawaii, Grand Cayman, Acapulco, and Barbados. We hope to make some more trips soon when we have some extra cash!
