(Cliched line about how I hate talking about myself here):

I'm originally from Kentucky but spent most of my life in Florida and now I live out here. I'm proud to be from Kentucky but I now refer to myself as a Kentucky-born Florida boy. I've got a real bizarre and random sense of humor and tend to just say the weirdest stuff at random times. I'm not a fitness buff but I like to keep in shape. I like to go on road trips and I've even had a car completely die on me while on one. Totally not my fault though, it was just old (RIP Rufus).

Anyway, I'm a 6'4" "gargantubeast" (thanks to my best friend for the term). I am friendly and I try to be gentle with all the little people. I tend to not know my own strength sometimes and I apologize in advance for the inconvenience. There are two main things in my life: music and sports. I've played trombone since I was in 3rd grade but haven't been a part of an ensemble in a few years, sadly. I love going to shows (most recently Circa Survive w/ Touche Amore, Balance and Composure, and O'Brother), football games, or hockey games; but I love pretty much any sporting event I go to and I'm open to trying new things. Despite my deep love for music and sports, there's more to me so don't worry about a lack of conversation material. I love thoughtful discussions on whatever the topic. So um ... Random Facts:

My favorite band of all time is Thrice.
I love hockey (huge Tampa Bay Lightning fan, yes Lightning die-hards exist) but love doesn't really begin to describe it properly.
Despite being born in Kentucky, I was raised a Florida State Seminoles fan.
I got in a fight with a parked car and ended up getting a concussion.
I've been asked for my autograph while waiting to get an autograph, despite the fact that I am not famous in any way, shape, or form.
I am one of those people who can't remember lyrics unless they hear music.
I had a cat named after a Stephen Lynch song.
I've injured my knee more than an average person does in an entire lifetime.

Writing about hockey and building up my resume to land a better gig. Also, I'm kicking my own ass and losing weight. I'm down about 35 since moving to Texas.

- being tall
- being hyper critical of marching bands
- saying random stuff at completely odd times
- making fun of Clemson, especially Eight Ball.
- air hockey
- making Cincinnati Chili

My height is usually the biggest thing. That's pretty much it

Anything really. It's part of having ADHD, my mind just goes and goes most of the time.

Hanging out with my best friend doing whatever happens and whatever we get into.

I actually like chick flicks, I love Project Runway, and I'm pretty much contractually obligated to watch Dance Moms with my roommate. Not quite sure how that happened but it did.
