About Me

I work in investment banking and sell securities. Just passed 2 big licensing exams and have one left, can't wait for it all to be over.

I don't like clubs but love a local pub. I don't like TV but I do spend too much time on the computer. I appreciate sarcasm. I love my friends. I like music. I am a concert junkie. I like to run. I've recently gotten into politics. I couldn't imagine life better than it already is.

I have 4 younger brothers and sisters and they are all awesome.
