About Me


I am a certified EMT and Florida certified Fire Fighter, I just graduated from the Fort Myers Fire Academy (Class 0702 - aka. "First In, Last Out"). Searching for a job that doesn't involve me taking a food order (fire related jobs of course). I miss Ohio, but not really the state, just the people in it. I miss my brother. I miss monday night ping pong. I wish there was a Fast Forward Button

This is a video I put together of my friends and what we did in fire school

Time is not only a good healer, but it also has the ability to show you what really matters. For one, there is never enough time.

"If you're going to be a Bear, You mine as well be a Grizzly."

And were an epitaph to be my story
I'd have a short one ready for my own.
I would have written of me on my stone:
I had a lover's quarrel with the world.
-Robert Frost (1874-1963)

"... I think, fundamentally, music is something inherently people love and need and relate to, and a lot of what's out right now feels like McDonalds. It's quick-fix. You kind of have a stomachache afterwards." -Trent Reznor - Salt Lake Tribune Interview (09/29/2005)
