About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorYou've probably seen me busting my butt working at some of Richmond's hottest parties. The company I work for has sponsored everyone from Mix Master Mike, to DJ Swamp, to GWAR, and even the Richmond Lucha Libre. I love my job. How many people get paid to socialize? I also love all things Italy. I lived there for a month when I was in college. In fact, if I could convince my mother to move there I probably would do so tomorrow. However, she won't, and family is hugely important to me so I stay here in Richmond. If you know where a good poker game is I'll probably throw in a few bucks although I must warn you I tend to have very good beginners luck, but I could never be a hustler. I do own a gun and love to go shooting although it's very rare that I actually make it out to the range. I have a couple of tattoos and several piercings but you probably wouldn't notice them at first glance. I love to hang out in bars where they mostly sell PBR, but I never touch the stuff myself. I stick to my White Russians. I'm still a musician at heart so you can often find me singing karaoke. My MP3 player plays Michael Buble, George Michael, Mozart, Gwen Stefani, Nelly Fertado, Metallica, GWAR, and everything in between. I have a BS in Psychology with enough credits to have minors in Religious Studies and Music Education. I'm extremely shy at first but once I get to know a person I'm pretty much an open book. So, it's extremely important that you be able to initiate conversation. Every friend I've ever made is still my friend today. Some may be farther away than others but we still consider ourselves friends. I'm an extremely loyal person and expect nothing less from anyone else. I'm always open to new experiences. Everything I learned I learned from someone else. I am a product of the people that have surrounded me over the years. That's why I'm always open to new things. I would have never lived in Italy, shot a gun, gotten a tattoo, sang karaoke, or played poker if not for the influence of other people. I like open-minded people who have their own beliefs and experiences but are open to learning about those of other people. I do believe in God and if you have a problem with that you might as well click on the next persons link. However, I believe that everyone has their own beliefs. I won't push mine on you, don't push yours (or your anti-belief) on me. So, that's me (and you) in a nutshell. Let me know if you wanna chat. You must email me before requesting to be added to my friends list. If I don't know you, how can you be my friend?
This really is my family. That's my Pawpaw with the dog and my Dad is the goofy looking one on the back. I just want the bike.
