: About Me

I am new to Helium and don't consider myself a writer at all. Helium just seemed like a fun place to relax and express a few thoughts. I live in a great beach community and work in real estate. Hopefully, Helium will become an outlet for some of the ideas that rattle around the head now and then.

My passion is ...

I know too much about ...

my ex girlfriend's shopping trips

My parents always told me ...
