"Anything you'd like to say about yourself?"...That is the question that is asked at the top of this area that lets me "speak" here. Really, there is nothing extraordinary about me. Nothing that many would even find interesting. I could tell you about my life as a North Carolina native, married with 4 wonderful children, and to a great, hard working man for the past 18 years. All of that would be so common in the scheme of things.

It is what I would like for others to be able to say about me that I feel is important. My desire is to be spoken of as being a caring person who, in some way large or small, meaningfully influences another person's and causes that life to be a better one.
