About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live life in search of moments!

ABOUT ME

Most people who know me describe me as extremely motivated and passionate about everything I do. I am very devoted to my businesses; it's a very big part of my life. As my quotes below say, life is all about working hard and playing hard - and if you aren't smiling - you better have a damn good reason!

I'm a very straight forward and honest person. A non-smoker and social drinker (rum is definitely my beverage of choice), I'm typically a pretty laid back individual. Most of my professional life is very fast paced and hectic - so I like to relax and enjoy life when I'm out of the office.

For me, there are few things greater to share than life experiences - so while I'm young - I want to accrue as many as I can. Personally - I can't think of any better way to experience life than with great company.

I'm always open to meeting new people and trying new things - so feel free to send me a message if you're in Atlanta.

PHILOSOPHY

The following two quotes pretty much sum up most of my life philosophy...

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well preserved piece, but to skid across the line broadside, thoroughly used up, shouting GERONIMO!" - Hunter S. Thomposon, Hell's Angels, 1966

"I have a higher and grander standard of principle than George Washington. He could not lie; I can, but I won't. " - Mark Twain

To further that - I'm the type of person who is terrified of heights...but still wants to go jump out of a perfectly functional plane (aka: skydiving).

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I'm a sucker for movies. The list is way too long for here - but there's not really a genre of film I don't enjoy... If I had to pick a favorite movie, I would most likely select "The Count of Monte Cristo" (2002).

Music: There's honestly not much I'm not interested in... I absolutely love music - there's a song for ever moment in life. Country, rock, rap, darkwave, blues, jazz, swing, classical, j-pop, pop, etc...

Books: Just to list a few...Lord of the Rings, Celestine Prophecy, The Wheel of Time, Atlas Shrugged, Chronicles of Narnia, Devil's Dictionary, Pride & Prejudice, Dragonlance Chronicles, Terry Brooks, Mark Twain, Of Mice and Men, Le Petit Prince, The Da Vinci Code, Hitchhiker's Trilogy, The Vampire Chronicles, Inferno, The Crucible, Rule by Secrecy, The Hiram Key, Uriel's Machine, Anam Cara
