About Me

I am working on staying eternally 19. OK then~ 25… My life is pretty great. I love my job. I love my friends. I have cool birds that hang outside my window. I get to surf a lot although I live in the capital district of NY. Most of my travels revolve around the water in some way. I am a sea addict of sorts… I awaken every morning to what appears to be the ghost of Judy Garland singing me showtunes only to discover it's my dog licking my face...(then often realize that perhaps she was just licking her butt before that, but its all good...) I love the sun, but I truly believe in making the most of where you are, so yes, that was me that fractured my tailbone last winter in a pretty severe snowboarding accident… I love to travel and try new things. I have been called contradictory but never hypocritical. I love live music. I am taking some time in my sometimes chaotic life to better my skills as a guitar player. I am inspired by sincerity and honesty. I am grateful for the ability to admit when I’m wrong. Don't get me wrong, I have never actually BEEN wrong, but if I ever am, I will surely admit it.Maybe some day I will write some more banter here, but for now I can only suggest to try living your life by the golden rule, and I will too!
