Well, if you would like to know a little bit about me then read the rest of this, but if you would like to know more, then look me up on Facebook and we can be friends. If that is not enough and you want to know even more about me, then I think we should just be friends in real life cause that will probably be easier and more exciting. Life is all about relationships and you can never have too many of them!

Now The Good Stuff
- I absolutely love every aspect of Latin culture; food, music, sport, language, and especially the people.
- I used to live in England for 2 years.
- I have one brother named Brent who will be a freshman at Kennesaw State University, starting this fall.
- I worked at Chick-fil-A for 4 years.
- I played varsity soccer and tennis in high school at Providence Christian Academy.
- My high school superlative was the Most Laid Back (so I am pretty chill and nothing fazes me too much).
- I was baptized in the Jordan River.
- I was left in New Zealand by myself on a mission trip as the rest of the group went onto Australia.
- I love anything adventurous, such as wakeboarding, snowboarding, kiteboarding (basically anything with a board), and scuba diving.
- If anyone is up for racquetball, I am always down for a game.
- I desperately want to go skydiving, and would love to have someone join me.
- I am an avid fan of the most glorious football team in all the world, Manchester United (by the way this refers to the football where you actually use your feet).
- I was fortunate enough to do 2 study abroads in both Costa Rica and Spain.
- I played in the World Series of Poker in 2007.
- I enjoy playing guitar and singing worship music.
- Machu Picchu, in Peru, is the one place I have to visit before I die.
- I am obsessed with Passion and anything done by Louie Giglio.
- I worked with the Ron Paul Presidential Campaign and I believe he is the most honest politician in Congress (too bad there aren’t more people like him in office).
- I enjoy studying apologetics and Ravi Zacharias blows my mind every time I hear him.
- My passion is to travel and I hope to travel to every country in the world (I know this is highly unlikely, but you might as well dream big).
- I am not, but I know I AM and I am part of an irresistible revolution of loving God and loving others, shining for His Name and Renown!
