Greetings! I'm a 32 year old high school English teacher, currently living in Richmond Virginia. I'm passionate about all different types of music, literature, arts, biking, and anything outdoors related. In my free time you can usually find me either seeing a live show, riding one of my four bikes (mtn and road), playing guitar, or going to the river with my dog Chewie.
