I was born in Puyallup Washington on July 1st, 1979. I have an older sister, Adriane-who is still my best friend. My sister and I, of course along with our parents, Ken & Sheryll, lived in various places including Oklahoma City, El Salvador, and Port Angeles before settling again in Puyallup when I was in 2nd grade.

Throughout elementary, middle, and high school, I met a bunch of ladies that really were great friends, and still are, like Jennifer and Lindsey. I graduated from Puyallup High School in 1997 and got the hell out of that po-dunk town.

Then I attended college in an even po-dunkier town, Central Washington University in Ellensburg, WA. My roommate and her twin sister were Rodeo Princesses, and their dad was in the Rodeo Posse. My sissy went there too, but she actually graduated. I went there for just over two years, but thanks to a lucky (in hindsight it was lucky) case of mono, I moved back home to Mom & Dad in Puyallup.

When I moved home my parents decided to up & move to Europe, so I got to go with. We lived in Brussels, Belgium. I was able to travel all over, including Ireland, Italy, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. I was so excited to see the Eiffel Tower for the first time I teared up a little. Life with the parents got a little old and I wanted to go back to work in Seattle, so I left.

When I got back, I lived in Seattle, but kept coming down to visit friends back home, so after 7 months or so I moved back to Puyallup. I worked various jobs, but the most significant was as a Barista for a local Coffee Shop. Not significant because I thought it was important work (it was fun) but because Nadia, a girl that I worked with and became friends with introduced me to her friend Rob, who was a waiter at TGI Friday's, where her boyfriend bartendered. Lucky for me, we hit it off and we have been together for just over 3 years now. Wow...So that's my story so far.
