About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enriching my life one person at a time

ABOUT ME

my friends would say that i am laid back and tend to go with the flow (guess its the aquarius in me) . I love to stay active and always be doing something wether its sports, home improvements, cooking, exploring, visiting or work. I am always willing to help out with a need and willing to share what I have with others. I love athletics, family, friends and my fish...haha.... and those are what take up the majority of my time. very easy to get along with, usually think out loud and tend to ramble on with random topics. you will probably hear me say "long story short" about 5 times a day after i have been telling the story for 10 minutes...lol.

PHILOSOPHY

we all have things that occupy our lives, it is what lies deep within our core that I value. Jobs come and go, so does money and fame.... what really matters are people, relationships and our dreams.
