OK, my cuz’n insisted on a bio-page for me, here it is…

I was born and raised on Long Island, N.Y. got in trouble, mischief and had a great time growing up, even with all that could’ve turned bad! I learned how to play guitar sometime around the age of 13. I wanted to be a rock star but now I play because I don’t know how I would live without my music!

I’ve been working an array of jobs since I was 12 years old. After high school I chose to open my own advertising business. It was fun while it lasted and I went into it knowing it would be a learning experience. I had a lot of fun selling my work around the planet.

When I was almost 23 I decided to join the military for a few personal reasons; travel, and education being among them. I’ve gone to some cool places; you can see a few of them in the picture gallery! Once I got used to the little but steady paycheck I budgeted a few dreams.

SKYDIVING- I finally go to jump. The story is in the other page.

TRAVEL- Mardi Gras, spring break, Myrtle Beach, Sicily, Australia. Those are a few of my favorite places/events that I have traveled to.

EDUCATION- I value school but there is NO substitute for education through personal experience. I am working on both!

MONEY—YEA RIGHT! I’m broke; but happy!

One of my personal philosophies is “dream big, but don’t be afraid to bring those dreams to life!” If all you do is dream; you’re a dreamer. If you turn those dreams to reality, you’re just starting to live!”

With that said, I leave you here to view some of my dreams! Don’t forget about my logbook. Let me know what you think about this site; my cousin Kristi Snow built it for me!
