I immerse myself in martial arts. I love to do special effects makeup and character design. I like skydiving, snowboarding, skiing, rafting, paintballing, agressive inline skating, scaring people, making people laugh, going to movies, camping, barbeques, parties(big and small), and trying new experiences to remind myself that I am alive.
I want to meet individuals that want to share new adventures. I'm drawn towards people that are driven towards higher goals. Those who want to really live life and take action to achieve what they want. I surround myself with people that inspire me. How can you inspire me?

-My Best-Bro Darren Shepherd for being there as a friend, as my Karate Instructor, and my mentor. You are my Socrates, and I will be forever greatful to you for this. I only hope that one day I can awaken someone like you have done for me. -My Parents for having the uncanny ability to know that I could achieve anything I put my heart into. I look up to them so much for helping encourage me to explore life to its fullest and not just take things as they seem. -My sister Melody for being strong through the shit that she has had to face. I love you little sister. Don't give up. You are going to be so much more than you could ever imagine. -My buddy Derek Tingey for helping me push to achieve my ultimate goal in Martial Arts. -John Brinley for always being able to know exactly what's on my mind and call me on my bullshit. Thanks for all the reality checks brother. I don't think anyone else has seen as many shifts take place in my life as you. 19 years is a long ass time. -Jonathan Pitchford for the ever so strong support through the good and the bad times. It's been awesome seeing you remake yourself these past few years and I look forward to the great experiences that I know we're bound to have(i.e. Space Cruises). -Nate Story for never giving up when the going gets ruff. I'm so proud of you for pulling yourself back up. You've had some shit thrown in your way over the years, but you have a great heart and you will perservere. -Daniel DeLao for always reminding me to keep my honor and never settle for what isn't honorable. Do your best in Iraq, and come home so we can sing some more karaoke.
