CURRENT MISSION

To become immortal. And then to die.

ABOUT ME

I've worked in Hollywood for a short period and now work as a real estate agent as well as a sports writer. I love movies, wildlife, basketball, writing, dogs, and most things in life. My favorite hobby, however, might just be sitting around and sharing an interesting conversation.

I love Colorado. I hope you do too!

PHILOSOPHY

"What is hell? I assure you it is the suffering of being unable to love. But heaven remains hidden within us all." -Zossima from "The Brothers Karamzov"
