If I can't be my own, I'd feel better dead

About Me

I am currently wrapping up a degree at WWU in Management. Bellingham is a new town for me (as of last fall), but I have really enjoyed it and made some great friends.I like: Snowboarding, working out, running, relaxing with friends over a beer or a movie, traveling (though that is on hold for these next few years), Family Guy, family, school, being myself (a complete goofball), baseball, football.. and just having a good time. I love everyone. I also enjoy photography...

Background Photo:
This was taken just outside of Fairhaven on Chuckanut drive. I decided to pull over and take break from riding. Normally I would keep going but my crank was falling off :)

Some photos I took along the route of one of my favorite runs in Bellingham. I could run for hours with scenery like this. This is my Zen.

"I lean against the wind, pretend that I am weightless, and in this moment I am happy"

I wish you were here.

I now remember why...

... I fell in love with running in the fall. My buddy Cevin and I went out for a five mile run last night. It's the first time I have really been able to run since mid-November. I hurt my knee sometim...
