I consider myself to be a good person. A genuine, good, decent human being. Most of the time I'm quiet, but there is a time or two I've been hyper. I enjoy being active. Soccer and snowboarding are my two main interests, followed by wake boarding and surfing. Along with soccer, my entire childhood revolved around motorcycles and motocross. If there was one thing that reminds me of my kid years, its that. I wasn't the best, nor did I attend the most races out of my friends, but the joy and excitement I felt from being involved in that sport shaped me, my personality, and set the foundation for the activities I continue to enjoy today. 

I also love to build things. I have been told I took the wheels off my tri-cycle 3 separate times to give it a different color scheme. I took my motorcycles apart when I was told not to, and I had my first muscle car finished (are they ever really done?) by the age of 17. I have since learned to weld, and have honed my automotive skills enough that I have enjoyed the benefits of being employed in the mechanical/automotive and metal art industries at one time or another. Anything built out of metal interests me, and the more unique, the better. 

I graduated from Oklahoma Christian University in 2007 with a Business Management degree, and am now a Oklahoma board certified teacher as well as TESOL certified by TEFL Internatinal. I finished my year long residence in South Korea this past February, where I was teaching english at an elementary school. Now when  I'm not traveling, I can be found in Oklahoma. My distant plans include more schooling, becoming a college professor, and establishing a small side business in which I do jobs modifying and restoring collector automobiles.
