ABOUT ME

I have lived in Marietta, Georgia for 23 years. Marietta is a city about 30 minutes outside of Atlanta. I grew up a huge baseball fan and the Atlanta Braves and Boston Red Sox are my favorite teams. I have traveled around the United States trying to see every MLB stadium. After starting these trips, I realized how much I enjoyed traveling and wanted to start traveling outside of the United States. I made a goal a few years back that I wanted to travel to Europe and see as much as possible as I was out there. I will graduate Georgia State University in August 2011 with a bachelors in Economics. I plan to move to Chicago after graduation because I fell in love with the city and have been there multiple times. People's first impression of me is that I tend to be a little shy, but after my shell is broken, I tend to be a really fun person to hang out with. I tend to think i am pretty spontaneous but at the same time responsible. I treat everyone with respect as long as I receive the same. If there is anything else you would like to know, just ask!!!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm sort of a believer in Karma. What goes around, comes around. I try to treat people with the upmost respect because that is how I would like to be treated. And I hate liars, it's just a cowardly way of getting out of the truth.

Interests

I love sports, mainly baseball, football, and college basketball. I personally like to play disc golf. Trivia is always interesting to me as well, as I tend to be pretty competitive.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to watch movies. I love comedy and drama. Music, i listen to pretty much everything. I would have to say my favorite artist is Lil Wayne because his lyrics are the truth. I can be listening to Lil Wayne but then switch to country/R&B/Jazz. Like I said, I like all kinds of music. I also enjoy reading, with Pat Conroy being my favorite author.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every April, my uncle and I attend the Masters Golf Tournament in Augusta, Ga. On hole 16, we have seen 2 holes-in-one. It doesn't seem like that much of an amazing thing, but watching that ball trickle to the hole ever so slowly and finally dropping in is insane. Then the crowd goes wild and it puts goose bumps on your arm!
