Me and Hamlet. Photo by Alex Neely

I love animals and would have a bunch if money and room were no option. Ihave a great Pyranees/golden retriever mixed rescue dog named Hamlet. I’ve had cats, fish and once, a nasty parakeet.

I love the great outdoors – but I’m more prone to looking at it than tackling it.

I love water – the beach, a pristine lake or clear spring.

I was born and raised in Orlando, FL and currently reside in Georgia. But I’d rather live in San Francisco, Seattle or Vancouver. Or London or Dublin, but I think I’d need to win the lottery for that to happen.

I love thrift stores and consignment shops. I love a good deal.

I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. I’m passionate about working on the Web, writing and being creative. I’m a big picture/ideas person. I like to stay current and stay on top of tech and social media trends.

I love music.

I live in a red state but have a blue heart.
