About
"You and I were born beneath a star
of dazzling blue."
~ Paul Simon
I'm not sure why you care about me, but you clicked on the page, so I better write something. I had a wonderful childhood in Scenery Hill, PA with incredibly loving parents. When I grew up, I realized how sad and troubling the world really is, but it's also beautiful. And life is really a miracle when you think about it. I have the greatest wife on the planet and a remarkable like boy. I like to play my guitar, watch movies, and listen to music. The music I like best has handclaps and sweet harmony vocals but still seems sad. I like movies with heart and character and dialogue I can dream about. Oh and I swim a lot to stay in shape. Is this the kind of stuff you want to know?
7 I Believes
I believe in hard work, but I was a teacher for 3 years, and that was too hard. I believe in learning and growing and becoming the man God made me to be in a world that doesn't care I'm even alive. I believe you only get one chance to live an impactful, engaging, empathic, and examined life. I believe in taking yourself seriously, but only if you're being ironic. I believe in forgiving and hoping and digging (if necessary) to find the best in people. I believe in living passionately and compassionately. I believe in keeping it simple -- sometimes.
