Originally born and raised in Canton, Ohio, a 1998 graduate of Louisville High School. After high school enrolled at Walsh University in North Canton, Ohio, spent 6 years attaining a Marketing/Communication Bachelors Degree, as well as a Masters in Business Administration. In the beginning, the reason for staying in school was to figure out the career profession that best fit. The only thing received from the masters was more possibilities.

My first real job was the Manager of a Lids store in Belden Village Mall, here I learned how unfaithful and untrustworthy people can really be. From there I moved on to more money in the cut throat world of cell phone sales, which only lasted 8 months. Never again will I do sales (unless forced). After that I was out of work for 6 months, collecting unemployment (which was one of the most difficult times in my life). I soon took part time teaching jobs at: an adult education course at my alma mater, and at a two year school that educated nursing assistants. Then the luck changed, in of all places, playing basketball at the YMCA. I was offered a temporary position running reports for AutoMart.com, which soon turned into a full time position. Not Long after that an invitation for a location change to Norfolk/Virginia Beach and a new profession Search Engine Marketing/Optimization.

Since the move to Norfolk/VB I have had some ups and downs. AutoMart.com got absorbed by a much larger competitor. Took a new postition across the street as a manager, and also took the bullet for mistakes that were made in my time there. Bought a condo a mile from the beach, 4 days later I got the ax. Second Round of unemployment, but this time I had a roommate at the new crib. That had to be one of the best summer's ever. But in October I took a position doing all the emarketing for a Steel building company in Virginia Beach. Then in January I added a position where I am a contractor to a non-profit buisness. They have me consulting, educating, and fulfilling the SEO/SEM and Social Media needs of the small businesses on the peninsula (Newport News, Hampton, Williamsburg, Virginia area.).

Some things that drive me are the music and sports in my life. I listen to all types of music, mostly alternative rock, some heavier rock, country, and a little head-bobbin music too. I am a "die hard" Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Linkin Park, and Anberlin fan. Athletically, I am still playing baseball, basketball, and volleyball, (and now whiffleball and softball) as much as my body will allow me to, age is slowly catching up with me.

Things I Love:
Chipotle, The Ohio State University Athletics, Flip Flops, Sweet Tea, Baseball, My Beach Crusiers (aptly named 'Blue Steel' and 'Brutus'), My New Condo, Volleyball, Hats, The Beach, Christopher Walken, Grilling out, Live Music, The Internet and all it has to offer, and having a beer with my friends.

Things I would rather not have in my life:
Scary Movies, Awkward Situations, Liver (to eat, not mine, I love my liver), Bills, Crocs, Flat Bills on the Ball Hats, Emptying the Dish Washer, Bad Drivers (I am talking about you, NC/SC drivers in Va Beach), Obnoxious Kids, 'That Team up North', 'That Team down South', The Yuckees, and Crooked Hats (Straight Forwards or Straight Backwards, Thats It).

About the Blog:
The blog is mostly for me, as a collection of things that interest me. However, if these things interest me, then there is probably a good chance someone else is interested as well... Mostly the blog will be about music and sports, and me making fun of people... Should be a good time!
