The Missouri Kid

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

My two main passions in life, outside of family and friends, are music and running. I like to write and perform songs; I like to run long distances. Additionally, I like to make people laugh and enjoy being the life of the party. Yes, I am a bit of a ham. However, I have really tried hard to become a good listener over the years, and rarely forget a name. Also, I have tried very hard to be an inclusive kind of person and try to make sure everyone I am around is a part of the action. Mistakes? I have made more than a few. Maybe 50,000 or so. That's life. Forget. Forgive. Do your best. Love.

My Interests

Saint Louis Cardinals baseball; Oakland Raiders football; Music; Running; and Doing My Best. Also, Eckhart Tolle--strictly, platonic; and females.
