About Me

Working for a disaster recovery company that can be boring and exciting at the same time. I travel alot, but I love living in Boone. I have an awesome church, great friends, and a cool seasonal job at a Christmas tree farm. I love ASU football, college basketball, and of course, politics. I can't lie, I'm all for Hillary in '08!

My Interests

politics, college basketball (UNCW, App State, and Wake Forest), music, my homies, family, making random Wynnevasions (traveling), hiking, rafting, church (and church lunch and dinner), and learning (oh yes).

I'd like to meet:

good folks

Music:

Rock, Alt. Rock, BluegrassSwitchfoot, New Amsterdams, Ralph Stanley, Del McCoury, Alison Krauss/Union Station, Jimmy Eat World, Sanctus Real, Green Day, Wallflowers, The Format, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Hootie, Matchbox 20, Snow Patrol, Unwritten Law, Matt Nathanson, Everclear, Foo Fighters, Grass Cats, and more

Movies:

Friday Night Lights, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Best in Show, Cold Mountain, Rat Race and probably plenty others that are just so good I can't think of them right now.

Television:

Amazing Race, Scrubs, The Office, Deadliest Catch, Andy Griffith Show (I got Mayberry roots)

Books:

Mitch Albom books, Into the Wild, The Worst Hard Time, Under the Banner of Heaven, Kite Runner

Heroes:

My grandparents Mary Nell Wynne and William and Mildred Hopper (I never knew my Grandad Wynne). Yeah it's cheesy to list them I guess, but they have worked so hard and taught me so much from very different perspectives.
