ABOUT ME

I love to meet people from all over the world.

I Loved cats as a kid, but like dogs now as a grown kid.

My life has gone a totally different direction than what I had dreamt of 10 years ago. When I was 17 I wanted to be a pilot and travel the world. So... for two summers I went to work for a private airport doing minor maintenance on small aircrafts. I was reimbursed for my hard work in pilot lessons. Before the end of the second summer, right before my first semester of college, I received my private pilots license. I went on to college with a dream to become an Aero-Journalist, taking aerial photographs, Etc. Instead I received a scholarship for Managing a Woman's Basketball team during the winter and get this... a Choir scholarship (I can't sing for the life of me anymore) but through all this I did find time to fall in love with still photography (black&whites, portraits, Nature, Abstract) I would take picture during Games and Choir trips. I was really good at it and enjoyed it alot. before I graduated two years of college with my "Photography Journalism"/Business Degree. I had totally lost interest in the flying thing and started picking up the interest in computer science. The next semester I recieved a partial grant to attend a four year Technical College two hours away from home. This college changed my life. I was ready to graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Network Administration/Computer Science when the school told me that I was lacking two courses which my academic advisor over looked. She was fired and I my grant ended. I was told that I had a year for those classes to be available again. I went back home to work two part time jobs as a Server/Waiter and as a contractor. During the end of the year, I realized that I wasnt striving towards what I really love, which was Travel, Aviation, and Photography. I joined the US Navy as a Aircraft Handler where I would travel the world, work with Aircrafts, and have the opportunity to take "breath taking" photos, and finish my last year of college while traveling. Since I have been in the Navy I have lived in Iceland, Japan, and Crete Greece.
