About Me

Lets see, I'm a young man just trying to find myself in the world. I'm the captain of the wonderful Bowie Swim Team, we're a small tight knit group that might as well be a family! I work at AMC Theaters at the Parks Mall as a Crew Lead and I love my job! I get to see the movies for free and I've learned a lot so far while working there and plan to learn much more. I have a lot of friends that I love to spend time with doing everything and anything at any time! I listen to tons of music, all different kinds, and there's nothing I love more than talking about music! Feel free to send me a message or hit me up on AIM!
