About Me

I was born in Tampa, and raised in Brandon. Graduated Brandon High class of '96. I moved to Raleigh, NC in Feb of 2000, and lived there until Oct of 2005, at which point it was time to come home. I missed my family, friends, and the Florida sunshine.

I have a fairly wide array of interests. My weekends typically consist of watching football and hockey, grilling out, heading to the shooting or driving range, spending quality time with the motorcycle, hitting up a favorite restaurant (T.C. Choy's on Sunday for dim sum is where it's at), and/or running various errands.

Anyhow, I guess that's enough rambling for now. If you wanna know more, feel free to send a message.

"Joy multiplies when it is shared among friends, but grief diminishes with every division. That is life."

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I wish I could have met my grandpa Bill, who died 5 or 6 years before I was born. Other than that, Matthew McConaughey seems like he'd be a pretty cool person to meet, Kate Beckinsale (I don't think I need to mention why), Catherine Zeta-Jones (same applies), Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney, Bruce McCulloch, Scott Thompson, Dave Foley, Sean Connery, Harrison Ford, Gene Wilder, Christopher Walken...

Grilled caesar salad

Ok, so a buddy told me about this. Take a head of heart of romaine lettuce. Just the "heart" portion. Cut it in half lengthwise, drizzle it with olive oil on the center side (so the oil seeps into it)...
