I am here for Friends

About Me

I grew up in Michigan (Jackson & Grand Rapids) eventually moved to Swanton (Toledo) Ohio. While living in Grand Rapids I met my two best buds, James and Josh. I went to Great Lakes Adventist Academy and East Kentwood HS for various years but graduated from GLAA. Took up photography and attempted to get a degree in it at Grand Rapids Community College. After moving to Ohio due to lack of a job and money I moved in with my parents. Not something that looked particularly good on my social resume but my parents are too cool for me to care. Besides every friend I made and every girl I dated loved them to pieces. They had more of a social life than I did for a bit. I got an opportunity to go to Germany with a good friend I met in my socializing (Prost Mike!) and you always hear me talk about the good times I had there. I wish to go back soon. After loosing the job I had worked at for 4.5 years (my fault.. I got stupid). I got a job at a hobby store and eventually this led me to my current job in Seattle. Moving was the hardest thing I did because I left my close family and friends behind. Since then I have moved to Maryland with the same company. I am not a fan of Maryland or at least where I am. Its just not the same as Seattle. I miss it. Oh yeah, if interested, read my blog. Easiest way to see what I am up to. Here goes! :)Layout made by xxblackwave96xx at CreateBlog.com .

Just a few words before I sign off for the night.
