About Me

I am a loving, caring, motivating individual who enjoys life and everything it has to offer. Like most people, I am not perfect... I've been known to be selfish and giving at the same time. I am articulate but still learning the art of communication.I split FL 9 days after graduating college... Headed to NC so to be a whitewater rafting guide. Now I live in West-by God- Virginia; rafting and kayaking on some of the world's best white-water. You should come up here some day. Fayette County is home to the longest single-span arch bridge in the Western Hemisphere... It is located 876ft above the 2nd oldest river in the world- the New River.I love kayaking! This will be my first winter in West Virginia. I'm greatly looking forward to a season of fantastic white water kayaking. This will also be the first time since graduating college that I've spent an entire year in the same place. My house is sweet and my housemates all paddle. This is gonna be the best winter ever! Hope you all are doing what you love too. I know life doesn't get any better than this!!table, tr, td { background-color: transparent;

My Interests

whitewater kayaking, raft-guiding, snowboarding, biking, skiing, traveling, driving, working out. Pretty much I enjoy anything that keeps me on the move.

Hangman

I'd like to meet:

I want to meet people who live their passions. Life is tough and can be very scary. We must rely on our friends and passions to get us through each day. Tell me what keeps you going. It is my belief that we are meant to meet certain people for certain reasons. We are here to learn from one another. What will you learn from me? I don't know yet, but I'm sure there is a reason we are meeting. If you figure it out, let me know. I'm looking forward to getting to know you! :)

Movies:

Escape

Spud's kayaking video. Good stuff he posted on www.boatertalk.com.Enjoy, M I enjoy most light love stories, suspense movies, kayaking and snowboarding dvd's.

Television:

Actually, we only get one television channel at my house, not that I watch much tv anyway... Too busy. I do however enjoy watching a few shows on the internet...Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty. Sometimes I watch Law & Order. Oh, and, I loved watching the West Wing. Too bad they cancelled that show. It was one of my faves!
