About Me

There is so much that I could write here, but I'll sum it all up in a few short paragraphs.I played football in college at FSU, I have two children (Lukas is 5 and Keeley is 4), I am blessed to have plenty of friends all over this wonderful country and I try to spend as much time as possible with them.
Anybody who knows me knows that I am the biggest Seminole prider to have ever lived, and in addition to that I am the biggest Gator-hator to ever live (UF sucks!). I loved my time at FSU and it will always hold a special place in my heart. Go Seminoles!
I travel around a lot, rarely am I ever at home. Best way to find out where I wound up at is to give me a call on the always reliable cell phone.
I've got properties out in Laguna Beach, California; outside Dallas, Texas; Jupiter, Florida and one back home in Tampa, Florida. Recently sold my place out in Franklin, Tennessee since I won't be needing it, but what an awesome place it was, I kinda miss it. One place I would never live is Gainesville, Florida because of that f***ing place that's stuck in there (UF).
Got my pilot license back in '99, and own two personal airplanes that I like to take people out flying on every couple weeks or so. Driving and hiking are good ways to see stuff, but there is no better way to see the world than from a private aircraft. Had one scary incident back when I was a "rookie" pilot, but I'm still here to talk about it so it didn't end all that badly. I have a safe flying record otherwise.
If you want a great house by a great realtor, check out my friend John. He sold me my place in Laguna and was just awesome to work with.

CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!

I'd like to meet:

I'm open to meeting anybody, I find all different kinds of people to be intriguing and there are no limits to my social network.

Above all I would like to meet God, and people from the past because I'm sure there is a lot we could learn from them.

Music:

U2, Creed, The Killers, Maroon 5, Nickleback, Facehumper, INXS, Stone Temple Pilots, Green Day, Offspring, ACDC, Bon Jovi, Beatles, Aerosmith, anything with a good beat. Also depends on where I'm at, I'm open to a lot of different music.

Movies:

I like action movies, comedies, and even chick flicks can be alright sometimes. I'll never watch the same movie twice.

Television:

I don't watch much TV. I do watch the news, ESPN, other football games, major sporting events, that sort of thing when I have spare time. The occasional reality show isn't bad either.

Books:

I don't usually put aside much time to read, I'm always busy doing other things. Got nothing against books though. I did plenty of reading in college.

Heroes:

Coach Bowden, Mickey Andrews, David Gordon (BC kicker that sunk Notre Dame), my father Vernon (RIP), my grandfather Brandon, Jesus

In Big D

In Dallas right now, so if you need me then give me a call at my house... if I'm even there at the time which is unlikely. Hit me on my cell instead.
