God was my copilot but we crashed in the mountains and I had to eat him.

About Me

Hello all! I am 30 years old, married, with a 6 yr. old son. I'm born and raised in Miami, FL, but am currently living in Salt Lake City, UT. I just moved to SLC in May...again (this is my 3rd time living here)...after spending 10 months in Flagstaff, AZ. Prior to living in Flagstaff, I spent four years in Baton Rouge, LA. I guess you can say I have a hard time sitting still.
I work too much, but I play as hard as I work. I like the outdoors. I like to ski in the winter and hike in the summer. I love the water. Lakes, rivers, oceans, whatever...it doesn't matter. If I were rich, I'd have a raised house on the water, and another in the mountains. I like live music and a good beer. I like Mardi Gras, crawfish boils, and cajun food.
I like to travel and see new things. I like to meet the locals when I travel and get off of the tourist strip. I like new places and new adventures. I get bored easily. I'm full of energy, but appreciate lazy Sundays.
People say I'm laid back and easy to get along with. I try hard to be non-judgemental. I love people. I especially like people who are different. I like other cultures and lifestyles. I can't stand people who are plastic. I really don't like people who are carbon copies of everyone else. I like people who think for themselves and know who they are.
I believe in protecting the environment and conserving what we have. I believe in respecting all life. I believe in karma.
I like to help people. I really enjoy developing the plan that others will use to help people. I like it even better when that plan works. I like to believe that I make a difference and that all my hard work is worth it. I like knowing that there are people who will remember me forever as the person that helped them at their lowest point.

My Interests



My interests vary mostly dependant on the mood I'm in. I love the outdoors, though I don't seem to spend enough time there lately. I enjoy hiking, and I love to snow ski. I also love the water.

My passion is my work. I enjoy learning new theories and learning new lessons on emergency management, planning, and the like. I also have the guilty pleasure of being a "disaster junkie". I'm always up for a good disaster story, be it from the Weather Channel or from a friend who's been there.

I'd like to meet:

Movies:

I watch plenty of them, but never seem to be able to pick a favorite. I like anything that holds my interest enough to practice some temporary escapism.

Television:

I've recently started watching Cane. What a great show that is! I also like watching all the typical cop shows...Without a Trace, CSI, and the like. I'm also a Weather Channel watcher. Besides Jim Cantori (hehe), my favorite thing to watch on the Weather Channel is "It Could Happen Tomorrow".
