Introduction I graduated with honors from the Communication Arts program at VCU in Richmond, Va in May 2007. Following graduation I briefly pursued various forms of employment, nearly gave up my dreams of starting my own business, hit some roadblocks with my health and relationships, and stumbled out the other side, dizzy, confused, hungover, and newly determined to succeed on my own terms. I recently started a visual media company called Wildfire Media Inc., based out of Stafford and Richmond Va. My career is now off and running...well, hobbling, but gathering momentum ;o) I have a random and goofy sense of humor from being part of a silly family and having silly friends from all walks of life.
Interests Art of all kinds, soccer, running, any kind of sports really... funny movies and tv shows, MUSIC, joking and watching standup comedy
Favorite Movies Dumb and Dumber, Van Wilder, Old School, 40 Year Old Virgin, Robin Hood Men in Tights, Spaceballs, Mean Girls, Forrest Gump, In Her Shoes, Road Trip, Little Miss Sunshine, Superbad, and soooo many more... mostly dumb comedies. and some hopeless romantic ones, like the Notebook.. and Step Up, the semicheesy dancing movie. love it! ha ha
Favorite Music EVERYTHING- spanning all genres... I am generally drawn to songs because the lyrics seem to apply to a situation in my life, the beat makes me actually get up and dance, or the vocal range is such that I can sing along well.
Favorite Books children's picture books and coloring books are my favorites, due to my desire to become a writer and illustrator for children. Favorite "adult" book right now is "Colors Insulting to Nature" by Cintra Wilson. It's her first novel, and its absolutely AWESOME AND HILARIOUS.
