“An invincible determination can accomplish almost anything and in this lies the great distinction

About Me

Im a 27 years old Above Knee amputee, I work full time, go to college full time and Rock Climb every minute I have free. I am a person who believes that anyone can achieve any goals they set for them if they just take the notion to try. I also feel that once you set your mind to doing something, do not let anyone tell you that you can't. I do NOT believe in judging a book by its cover.... some of the most life altering experiences could happen with someone you didnt give a chance to get to know! Don't ever be affraid to ask a question, some of the biggest mistakes people make in life were banked on assumption. I havent always went the straight and narrow, but if I wasnt being good, I was being good at it! I get my feelings hurt easily, but Im trying to work on that. I love my job, and I have the coolest boss in the world. I recently returned from Orlando, Fl where I was a recreational Rock Climbing Competitor....I brought home the GOLD metal! I can't believe it! Congrats to Kelly, my competitor who won the silver! Go for the GOLD next year doll! You did amazing! Im so proud of you! If you wanna know anything else ASK, or read my blogs and you might bite off more than you can chew! LOL

My Interests

If it has a rocket emblem on it, I LOVE it! oldspower.com is where i 'met' my best friend and alot of cool people, I LOVE cars, all shapes & sizes. I can look at what most girls would call a rustbucket and see the potential in it. I really like old classic cars. I LOVE going to carshows. I collect shotglasses, and the furthest ones I have gotten as gifts were Amsterdam and New Zealand. I like riding 4-wheelers, camping, fishing, and summertime! My favorite season if Fall.....and we got screwed outta a fall this year! Damn Global warming!I absolutely LOVE Rock Climbing.

I'd like to meet:

The whole STL Cardinals team: Eckstein, Pujols,& Molina are my favorites! Sarah Reinertsen- 1st female amputee to win the IronMan competetion!

Music:

I love 80's hairband music, and slow mellow bluesy type stuff. When Im in a bad mood (which is not very often) I like to listen to harder stuff, like Linkin Park, Default, Stone Sour, Metallica, Staind, Bush ect.... I also LOVE country music.

Movies:

RUDY, Slingblade, Of Mice And Men, The Man in the Moon (the old Reese Witherspoon movie, NOT the Jim Carey movie), The Punisher, Jersey Girl, Men of Honor, Shawshank Redemption, Big Daddy, Radio, The Longest Yard, Varsity Blues, Dragonfly,Ladder49, World Trade Center, Frequency, Antwon Fisher story, Girl Next Door, The Wizard of Oz, The Lake House.... way too many more to list!!!!

Television:

House, Monster Garage, Over Haulin' Rebuild the Human Body, Realtree Roadtrip,anything Medical, Miami Ink, and lots more.

Books:

If I pick it up and its interesting I wont put it down til Im done reading it! THATS a good book. I like to read just about anything with words. I like Chicken Soup for the Soul books, and Dean Koontz. I like Nicholas Sparks also. I'll read just about anything. Thank God my Adopted Mom works at a place that makes books! She keeps me supplied!

Heroes:

Sarah Reinertsen, 1st female amputee to win an Ironman competition! Virginia Hall- not only was she a Most wanted Spy in France in the 1940's, a Special agent for Britain, awarded the Distinguished Service Cross in 1945 by President Harry S Truman-BUT she was also an amputee! She was known as "The Lady with a Limp" My grandma, she's a rock and is still with it into her 70's! Any couple that has had rough times and seemed to overcome and love eachother more because of it!
