About Me

Well you will rarely find me without something to smile about. I absolutely love my family, my friends, and pretty much my life in general. My fiance (Megan) and I are in the midst of planning our wedding (11/22/08) along with balancing work, the house, our pups (Kodi and Gus), and a fairly active social calendar. So suffice to say, we stay pretty busy. But we wouldnt have it any other way.
