I am here for Friends

About Me

let's see. i was born in florida, spent my early childhood in michigan, but most of my life in texas. i also lived in northern california for a spell, but now i'm back in the lone star state. i travel around the country opening up new stores and doing renovations to old ones for a major electronic retail chain. i have a bachelor's degree in anthropology and if all goes well...will be working on a b.s. in marine biology next fall. while i love archaeology...my real passion is the ocean and it's inhabitants. if i ever get enough money to do so, i'd love to make a low budget horror film some day and maybe even own a coffee shop or a small bar on the beach.
