About Me

Well... I don't like summing myself up in little boxes like these, but I'll give it a whirl.I'm 23 years old. I was born in Niagara Falls, Ontario in 1983. I grew up in Cooks Mills, which is a rural area in Welland, Ontario. I graduated from Notre Dame College School in 2001. After spending some time finding myself, I've finally settled down and made some decisions about the direction I want my life to take.I am engaged to a beautiful woman named Christina. We're going to be married in the summer of 2008.Starting September 5, I'm going to be starting at Humber College in Toronto, Ontario. I'll be majoring in Wireless and Telecommunications Technology.At this point of my life I'm going through a lot of changes. This journey of mine should prove to be most interesting.

My Interests

I play guitar for fun, mostly. I'm also a bit of a retro gaming geek. And I'm really big into vintage cartoons.

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet anyone who's willing to meet me.

Music:

Yes, I like music. Making, listening to, playing. It's all good.

Movies:

I rarely have the time or desire to get into movies these days. It seems like forever since I've been to the picture show.

Television:

If you bother me on Sunday nights between 7:30 and 10:00, you're going to get yelled at. That's my time.

Books:

I don't really have much time for books right now. I'm sorry.
