CURRENT MISSION

To experience as much of life as I can before I can't do it anymore and even then, I'll improvise.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Florida, born and raised on the Gulf Coast. I graduated from the University of West Florida in August 2007 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Physiology.

I enjoy adventures and trying new things so I'm pretty open to anyone and anything.

If I say anymore, there won't be much left for introductions...

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention to arrive safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: wow! what a ride!" - Dean Karnazes

Interests

I love to play sports, any and all kinds, to include scubadiving and skydiving. I just discovered this thing called traveling...it's pretty cool, I recommend it if you haven't done it. I love beer.

Music, Movies, and Books

Any, any, and any. Just kidding, I have limits. With movies, I usually read the synopsis first, then see who's in it, then determine if I watch it. I'm a big fan of the classics though. As far as music goes, I'll listen to anything where I don't feel like I should be on some kind of drug. And books, if I can learn something from it, if it has a cool title, or it's a classic, I'll read it (exceptions: the Bronte sisters and Jane Austin...there are just some things men don't get involved with, others include the Lifetime channel, shopping, and minivans).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've ever done, thus far in life, was Ironman Florida 2006. It is a triathlon that consists of a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and 26.2 mile run. The conditions were unfavorable and I was very unlucky throughout, but despite the setbacks and the physical and mental torture, I finished the race and it was one of the greatest feelings of accomplishment I've ever had.
