Who Am I?
I grew up in a small, steel town where as a child I was often asked whether I lived in a teepee. I was the only minority in grade school until my younger brother was old enough to enroll. My two siblings have the same first name. After graduating from high school, I wanted to attend a school where I could fully support the athletics and root behind a fabulous team mascot. That is how I ended up at a Division III university with an elephant as a mascot. When college came to an end, I wasn't ready to work in the real world, so I went to law school. I am a really big fan of bad horror movies. The worse they are, the more I enjoy them. My favorite sport is curling. It's a shame that I have to wait every four years to see the best curlers around the world come together and display their total athletic domination. Continued Here... |
