Born in Kansas, raised in Tucson, played college basketball in California, and now living in Phoenix. I am happy with my life right now and I feel so blessed. I love my family and friends with all my heart. LIFE's MOTTOS: Laugh hard, live with no regrets, be a best friend to all, respect one another, do/go above and beyond, ask questions, always take/make time for yourself, enjoy a sugar-tipped cigar often, forgive and forget, take a deep breath, when you feel like you've done enough try harder, when people show you who they are, believe them; stop and appreciate your life, drink wine, kill with kindness, spend as much time outside as possible, love your enemies, strive for success, read everything, let things go, challenge yourself and others, listen to good music, above all...love one another with all your heart! It's the little things that count the most in life! Thursday nights of watching Smallville & LOST is something I look forward to always. Corona is my favorite! I dont like hypocrites. I am happier when I work out and work hard. I can still beat people up on the basketball court. Relationships really make life better and more enjoyable. I want to travel and see the world and never slow down. It really bothers me when people take things too seriously. If someone gives you shit it shouldnt affect you longer than it takes the person to say it. Never stop pushing yourself and never settle. I love weddings, especially the weddings of my family and close friends. I love sports. Love doing anything active and outdoors, spending time with family and friends, being spontaneous, and just having fun. I admire those who give their all at everything they do. I am always there for my family and friends. I know how to balance my priorities in life with work, family, friends, relationships and fun!I believe myself to be genuine and I would never betray the ones I love. I value those people in this world who are REAL. I have very specific goals for myself and I am VERY self-motivated. Enjoy life and live the way YOU want to live life...just as long you are happy! The older I get the more I realize how precious life is and how big of an impact your attitude has on everything. I just try to make the most of every day and not take things for granted. Nothing great in life has come easy, nor do I expect it to in the future. To everyone who has a dream... play hard, work harder, have faith and remain patient. Don't surrender to your dreams just because the road may seem tough... stick with it. "Success is a journey, not a destination." Never allow someone to be your priority, while allowing yourself to be their option.Success has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It's what you do for others.It is perfectly alright to waste time with people you love.Values are only measured by the importance it has to you.Walk softly and carry a big stick.It's what you do in life that defines you...live your life with no reservations..."We are disturbed not by what happens to us, but by our thoughts about what happens.""Memories are not made by going to sleep early""Sometimes the hardest things to let go of are the things you never really had""Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." ~ John Wooden ~I ♥ life.
