About Me

I'm relatively funny. Humor with wit is key. I love to drop bad puns. Scrabble and crossword puzzles are two of my weaknesses, along with pina coladas and getting caught in the rain. Karaoke is something I can never pass up. I was the North Dakota State Golf Champion. I don't sing in the shower, but I sing about everywhere else. I enjoy Jameson on the rocks and skunky, boxed chardonnay. I'm a weirdo, but damn it, I'm cool.
