CURRENT MISSION

"Life is a Banquet and most poor Sons-of-Bitches are starving!" -Auntie Mame said it best. Take from life all it has to offer.

ABOUT ME

"Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor." Never miss a chance to meet new people. I consider myself a natural Jack of many a trade. I am never afraid to try knew things, especially if it makes for good stories. I am born of the mountains of Appalachia. I love the magic and archaic beliefs that are wound into the lifestyle here. I can sit in a porch rocker in the Country or a park bench in the City and watch the sky all day. I refuse to ever live a boring life. I truly believe kindness and laughter are nature's true remedies of most any ailment.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat everyone as you wish to be treated. I believe: To each, his/her own(as long as no harm comes to anyone). A universal commandment for everyone is to "Love" everyone. Laugh, a lot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was fortunate to have been an extra in the blockbuster film, "The Avengers." I'm also an extra in, "What to Expect When Expecting." I saw the last space-shuttle mission take flight. I have traveled to many countries and met a lot of beautiful people. I could die today a happy man.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am learning to play guitar. Both the recreational aspect as well as the technical side of all things motorcycle creates a very Zen lifestyle for me. I live my life to its fullest; always continuing to learn and further my professional as well as spiritual/personal growth. I think my ability to connect all this together has always been my reason for success in many avenues of my life.
