About Me
Acting/Talent Experience:
I sing in the car, does that count? Otherwise, I had a lead in a school play in 2nd grade and was an apple in 1st grade. Not everyone can be an apple. The good thing was when I turned red from embarrasment, no one could tell!
Am I affiliated with unions?:
No
A major event in my life was:
I was raised by a single, alcoholic mother. I met my father for the first time when I was 6 and have seen him 3 more times since (the last time when I was 13). Some kids choose to go into crime and drugs - but not me. While I did have my issues, I overcame them and became the first person in the family to graduate high school, graduate college, and receive their MBA (December 2008). I am the oldest grandchild in teh family and I need to set examples.
The accomplishment I am most proud of:
I was the first person in my family to graduate college. It took 5 full-time years and I received 2 Majors (Finance and Marketing) plus a Minor (Economics). In addition, during that time, I started a small company and was responsible for 100% of business functions (taxes, accounting, sales, negotiations, supplies, customer service, etc.). Furthermore, I was planning my wedding to my high school sweetheart, Crystal. In a span of 4 days, I was married (5/1/04) and graduated (5/5/04).

The weirdest thing about me is:
I can dislocate my left ring finger and have it dangle freely - and it doesn't hurt a bit.
