Me and my friend Cathy at Chabot graduation, May '04.
The basics: I'm optimistic (unrealistically so), humorous, fun-loving, adventurous, risky, bashful, honest...but apparently not modest! I love to travel - I've been to Boston, San Diego, Tampa, Atlanta, Chicago, Minneapolis, Dallas (some idiot in one of those airport go-carts almost ran me down there!), Biloxi, Costa Mesa, Alberta, London, Paris, Alaska, Hawaii, and Mexico. My parents divorced in 2000 (great way to kick off the millenium!); my mom re-married in January 2006, and my dad re-married in April 2006 with Ruth Cornthwaite (fourth wife, I wonder how long this'll last!).
The big kicker, for those of you who don't know me: I use a manual wheelchair because of a rare genetic ailment called Friedreich's Ataxia, but please don't look down upon me because of it - I may be disabled, but I'm still human!

Ah, to be young again...!
I have three tattoos, two on my left arm and one on my right...and I won't even pretend to be all macho about it: they HURT!! The more recent one is a quote ("All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you.") from the LOTR movies written in Elvish runes in a band that wraps around my left bicep.
I've also got a color tattoo of my fundraiser's logo above it:
Then, over on my right bicep:
Nothing symbolic, just a childhood fantasy. And directly above that is my most recent addition of ink: a boomerang.
From the logo for Outback Steakhouse, just a minescule display of gratitude for everything they donate to my fundraiser.
