I have a great love for all things creative. Art, music, movies and crafts. I believe artistic creations are a physical manifestation of a person's soul. They are the things we feel, but can never fully express through words, though true writers and poets do a damn fine job.

Though I am a lover of words, which I often prove at great length, I prefer the smaller and more subtle ways of communication. The sideways look a good friend gives you when they think you're acting nuts. The lingering gaze of a lover that's both enamored and gratefully surprised that, in this often dark world, they found someone that cares for them despite even the traits they hate about themselves.

There is NOTHING above family, friends and Love. Without them, there wouldn't be much reason for anything else. Money is lost as quickly as it is gained. Possessions break or fade with time. Family, children and Love, on the other hand, fills your heart and strengthens your will. You carry them with you forever. Even when things turn sour, look back and they still are.

Honor, dedication, compassion, patience, humility, understanding and passion. These are my defining drives. Though I fault at times through human nature, they are at the core of every decision I make. The times I use these more logically then emotionally when setting my course often leads me to trouble, however, these same traits make sure I make every possible effort to make amends.

I try to see everything through the eyes of others. Great minds are not only knowledgeable, but are also open to change. So, I have a "good" mind as I can be stubborn. I debate almost everything. Not to invalidate, but to genuinely understand a different view. Nothing is more intellectually stimulating then being proven wrong. It means I've learned something new and can better understand the person that showed me the error of my thinking. One of my favorite movies quotes, "Sometimes we need others to show us things that we can't see for ourselves." I couldn't agree more.

So, my friends, there it is. I could go on about my professional and, ahem, personal life, but you asked me to tell you about whom I am, not what I do.
