Hello everybody!
A quick bit about me:
I am 23 years old, turning 24 in August 2014, while I’m on the Race.
I live in the little known cow-town of Elizabeth, Colorado, about 40 miles southeast of Denver. No, I’m not a cowboy, I don’t like rodeos and all that stuff.
My family is pretty cool, albeit a bit dysfunctional, and I love them all.
I have two sisters: Rachel is my older sister, and she’s married to my Bro-in-crime Jeremy. My younger sister is Hannah, and she was adopted from China when she was a baby. She takes the racist jokes really well, and even gets in some shots of her own. And of course there are my parents, Arnie and Barb.
I am currently going to the University of Northern Colorado, and after student teaching in the fall, I will be graduating with my Bachelor’s degree in Music Education.
I also really love baseball and football, Rockies and Broncos fan for life! I played both growing up, and still like to toss a ball around here and there.
George Washington is my favorite president, favorite person in American history, and my role model.
I like to try and figure out how to play new instruments. I can play most of them somewhat well!
I am a hot chocolate aficionado
Things I love:
Italian food
Cooking
Baseball
Classical and Jazz Music (to a completely nerdy level… Look out fellow racers…)
The Lord of the Rings (but who doesn’t?)
Reading a good book
History, specifically military history
I cannot wait to see what God has in store for me this year.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. – Jeremiah 29:11-13
