About Me

The worst part about describing yourself is having to start every sentence with "I." I enjoy live music at the 930 club, Bikram Yoga, my college sports teams, summer bbqs, softball on the mall, and low key social events. I have lived abroad, volunteer for several organizations helping dog and kids, speak a few languages, and am just trying to take life one day at a time and try to create a few unique memories along the way.My dog Watson is very important to me. My greatest passion in life is adventure travel. I love scuba diving and skiing unique places. I'm headed to South America for a month in Jan 2008.
