My Interests

I am a goal-driven individual. I wasted a lot of time in my 20's and early 30's. I moved to LA at the beginning of this year to pursue a new life. I have encountered some rough starts, but I think things are evening out. I love family. I love friends. Right now I'm working full time, finally taking acting classes (with awesome instructors, Bill Alderson & Scott Jackson) two nights a week, taking bartending classes on Saturdays and I'm still managing to work out at least 5 days a week. All of this takes a toll on me physically, emotionally and mentally, but it's well-worth it when I think of the long term results. I miss my family and friends in Dallas, but we are only a phone call or plane ride away. I love 'em and miss 'em, but we know I"m finally doing what I dreamed of doing for a long time. My dad gave me a good quote: The definition of "luck" is when preparation catches up with opportunity. I want to make sure that when I do get "lucky" that I am ready & prepared for that moment.

I'd like to meet:

This book has given me a lot of valuable information! I bought the edition before this one and then bought this one early last year! Check it out.http://www.myspace.com/actingiseverything
