CURRENT MISSION

Exploring My World for the Very First Time

ABOUT ME

Enjoying this thing we call life. I have lightened up quite a bit from who I was growing up. I've experienced much more than I imagined, and there's still a ton that I haven't done yet. I can't really pinpoint me in a nutshell since I'm a get-to-know, wants-to-know-more and let's-talk-it-out type of guy.

PHILOSOPHY

"The Quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their Commitment to Excellence." --Vince Lombardi

Well, I am definitely happy with what I've done, but there's much more that I want to do.

You only get one ride at this rodeo...Make your 8 seconds count.
