About Me
For the most part, I think I'm Forrest Gump. I like to do things. I run marathons. I play music. My favorite color is clear. I don't believe in race. Life is not just about the journey (although it's very important). When I was in 4th grade, I wanted to be an ichthyologist; I still kinda do. I like art, music, motorcycles, tattoo's, racing, physics, astronomy, mathematics, love, business, advertising & marketing, classic cars, M3's, 9+ ball bearning baitcasters, poetry, flourocarbon line, doing what I say I'm going to do (by when I say I'm going to do it), drinking with friends, occasionally drinking alone, deep complex red wine from Spain and incredible Bordeaux's, cheese (with or without wine), running at night, Detroit sports teams (except football because I couldn't care any less about football), making a difference, the deepest blues straight up in the sky at dusk, stocks, 4 & 5 star mutual funds and the markets all together.
