Who am I?

    I was born on November 24, 1981 in Houston, Texas.  I come from a family of five. I have a younger brother, and a younger sister. I moved to Elkhart, Indiana when I was 10 years old.  I graduated from Elkhart Memorial High School in the year 2000.  While I attended Elkhart Memorial I was involved in many extracurricular activities, and they are as follows:  4 year lettermen of cross-country, 2 year lettermen of track, 1 year lettermen of wrestling, played basketball, and was a lifter for cheerleading.  After high school I went on to Ball State University where I major in Telecommunications and minor in Advertising.  I also am a member of Theta Chi Fraternity, Delta Kappa Chapter, where I have held the positions of Webmaster and Bi-Laws committee.  I was also formally the Student Government Director of Information and Technology.  I have learned many different philosophies so far in my life, and the one I'm sticking to right now is to be confident with everything you do.  If you are confident in what you do and what you want you will get whatever you are after. 

Hobbies and Interests 

    I like any sport that you can think of, because I am a very active person.  I am a big fan of the St. Louis Rams and will be glued to the television when ever they are on.  Also being from Houston, Texas I am a big fan of the Houston Astros.  My biggest hobby would have to be relaxing.  I'm a very mellow person and relaxing is like a second nature to me.  I am very interested in Telecommunications, and that is why I chose to major in that field.  My favorite television station is ESPN, because I can never be too informed on what is going on in the world of sports.  I enjoy all different types of music.  If you asked me what kind of music I listen to I would have to say everything.  I get in moods where one day I will want to listen to country and other days I will want to listen to rap.  I guess I'm just a go-with-the-flow kind of guy.
