| Some photos ... and a little bit about me. |
| I'm 33, born November 3, 1969 in Queens New York. Lived on Long Island for most of my life, until moving down to the Tampa Bay area in Florida about 12 years ago. Although I loved New York, I'd never move back. Florida is better suited to my interests. |
| Family: I was married for 13 years to my High School sweetheart. Ultimately the marriage didn't work out ... but I'm fortunate. I have a great friendship with my ex. I suppose it's natural for us to be friends, considering that we grew up together. We have a 13 year old son, and we share custody, so it's worked out well for us all. I'm in a long term relationship with someone I care deeply about ... and so is my ex. He and his girlfriend are expecting a baby in June, and I couldn't be more happy for them. |
| Work: Starting out as a teller years ago, I worked my way up in banking to Branch Manager, winning Branch Manager of the Year and various lending awards throughout the years. Unfortunately the industry is slowly dying with numerous mergers of financial institutions. So earlier this year I opted for a career change. I am now a National Account Manager for an Advertising company. |
| Interests: My interests are diverse and varied. Many people find them odd. I'm definitely not the typical dinner and a movie kind of person. I've had out of body experiences ever since I was a child, so I've spent over 10 years researching the neurological (and sometimes mystical) reasons behind that. I developed a keen interest in human evolution fossil hunting, which eventually led to a fascination with primates in general. I had the opportunity several years ago to volunteer in primate husbandry, and I still maintain that fascination today. The criminal mind has always intrigued me ... so for intellectual (and some very personal) reasons I decided to write to and visit with a serial killer. I've learned quite a bit from the correspondence and visits I've had. In so much, psychology has been a primary foundation for me. As for physical activities, I'm learning martial arts and I'm enjoying every bit of it. I also enjoy camping, and canoeing down the spring fed rivers just north of where I live. There I swim with the manatees and take in the beauty of Natural Florida. These are just a few of the things that fascinate me. Other interests .... I'm an avid reader, and always have been. As a child, I was onstage much of the time either in dance, playing saxophone, or taking part in a school play. |

| Pets ......... |
 |
| I've always been an animal lover. The bird above is my Nanday Conure named Matey. My especially loving cat is named Styx. I also have a Cockatiel named Sky ... and a Ball Python named Dragon. |
| I'm working on having more photos on the page soon. Hopefully some updated ones of me ... I'm blond now. I also want to include some Kung Fu pictures ... and a section on Natural Florida, showing some of the beautiful fresh water springs and Florida river habitat. |
