About me

Growing up in different locations as a kid has allowed me the chance to see and learn many things. Only those close to me realize my biggest secret is that I'm an introvert who's learned to act like an extrovert.

I enjoy a wide variety of books and authors from the classics like Pride & Prejudice, Three Musketeers and 20000 Leagues Under The Sea to works by more modern authors like Clive Cussler, Isaac Asimov, and Terry Brooks. My philosophy is to take things easy because life's too short to take it seriously.
