About Me

I'm 25 years old and live in Portland, Oregon. I'm currently finishing up my first year and a half of Graduate School at Lewis & Clark College, studying Educational Leadership. Lewis & Clark is such a great place of knowledge, I feel very lucky to be receiving such a great education. Only five more months to go until graduation! I started my practicum this fall at Westview HS(largest school in Oregon)in Beaverton where I am the "intern" principal. I recieved a bachelor's degree from Oklahoma State Universtity in Broadcast Journalism. I played baseball at Oklahoma State and even got the opportunity to play professional baseball, but two elbow surgeries ended that dream. I am a big time family man! My family is better than I could ever ask for, they keep me grounded in this sometimes crazy world. My parents are the two most influencial people in my life, and I love them for everything I am and have become. My beutiful 24 year-old sister is so great becuase she is one of the few people who can but me in my place! I am proud enrolled member of the Confenderated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. Being Native is a blessing and hope one day to help our people in the stuggle we often call life. My Indian name is "Wiyaninthla", and means The Traveler. I am a genuine person who believes in honesty in all aspects of life. Being both gives you the best opportunity to be the best person one could be! I love Portland, its a great city and I am very excited to see what the future has in store for me.

My Interests

I love kicking it with my good friends and having a great time in the great city of Portland! And just lovin' life, I'm 25, in good health and just going with the flow. Dominating at Poker is a hobby that will live with me forever, I love cash games! Also, watching a good ol' ball game on the tube in HD is great! And the UFC(The Ultimate Fighter on Spike TV kicks ass!) I Can't forget about those great movies that are out there, I'm kind of a movie buff! Movie quotes are a great way to show that rote memory really be useful for something, I love the outdoors can't get enough of it, hunting and fishing is a great way to enjoy life. I will not and can't forget to tell you how big of a fan I am for the Cowboys of Oklahoma State University in all sports, so drinkin' a brew watching the 'Pokes on TV kicking it having a good time with friends is fine by me. And for sure Ducks football! 4 life! Oh, and I recently made the drastic change from domestic beer to micros! Drop Top is the necture of the gods!
