Bio
Where to start? Well, I am a typical college guy. I am attending a University taking Business Administration and then will be going back for Massage Therapy. I have always been good at school but sometimes I do get tired of the work. I have also started my own Health and Wellness company check out the webpage... To be or not to be...healthy Anyway, being that I have my own business in the health industry, I try to help people understand nutrition. My company's goal is to share with people incredible products to help them get better. Not only do I help people with their health, I help people with their own individual Personal Development. PD is something that everyone experiences through the course of their life. I have always been the type of person to be there for people in need of a friend to listen to them. I remember in High School I was never a part of a certain crowd. I was the guy who got along with everyone from the Jocks to the Cheerleaders to the Computer Geeks. I got along with them all. In turn gave me the brand of "School Shrink" lol. I didn't mind it at all because I have learned a lot of stuff about different people. In other words, I have always been an observer. I love being in large crowds of people as long as I am not the center of attention. I was never one to want a lot of attention. I like listening to people and watching different people's actions and reactions. Hence I became a friend of everyone's so they could confide in me. I am a good listener and I have always been there to help whoever needed a shoulder to cry on. Hence, I don't judge anyone. I am open to all kinds of people. I don't look on the outside as if I am judging a book by its cover. I don't do that at all. It is just stupid in my opinion. Through my life I have realized that you can't judge people. I found out that people are people with different feelings and different pasts. In my life I have met ordinary people to Models to Celebrities to homeless people, in all walks of life. It is amazing how you can grow and develop from other people’s lives. It truly is.

Another thing about me is that I am an actor. I have been in acting my entire life. It is in my family if you really want to know…My Uncle and Aunt were in Grease with John Travolta and Olivia Newton John. They are professional dancers. They were also in the first cast of Beauty and the Beast when it first opened at MGM in Orlando. My cousins and brother and sisters and I were all involved in a Junior Theatre group since I was very little. I played roles like “Oliver” in Oliver, “Motel the tailor” in Fiddler on the Roof, “The Scare Crow” in The Wizard of Oz, “Rooster” in Annie, and much more. I also did a lot of “Techie” work. Things like stage management, lights, sound and even costuming. To me theater is a way of life. When you get up on stage and perform, it is like you forget everything that is going on in your life for at least however long the production is, and you get to “be” someone else. It is a very liberating experience. Being that I was in theater, I decided I wanted to go to New York City. I was hired as an usher for the Imperial Theater on W. 45th Street in Manhattan where Les Miserables was playing. I was also part of the back stage crew for Les Mis. I got to meet many people that are involved with the theatre and it was just incredible. During which time I was an usher, I got to meet many Celebrities as I was the usher for Box 1 where all the “ritzy” people sat. Some of the people I have met and still keep in contact with are Susan Surandon, Julia Roberts, Rosie O’Donnell, Michael J. Fox, Cher, Sandra Bullock and some others. A friend who grew up with my father is a Hollywood Screen Writer and I have kept in touch with her. I have been to her home in Beverly Hills where she is friends with a lot of celebs as well. I don’t want to sound like I am bragging however I wanted to let you know that I know a lot of different people. And to tell you the truth, the people in Hollywood and on Broadway are people just like you and I. They have feelings and they have personalities. I haven’t pursued a life in theater because it comes with great responsibility. You “live” theater. You date people who are in the same play as you, it becomes like a family to you. You don’t have much of a life outside that group of people because you are always rehearsing and practicing and reading your scripts. It’s a hard life and it takes a lot of guts to do so.

I not only have been involved with theater, but I have also done a lot of singing…as in a choir setting. I have been to Disney a few times singing the Candlelight Processional at Epcot…what an experience! To stand in front of hundreds of people with a full piece orchestra at your feet with the lights….it is just such an adrenaline rush! A lot of people don’t realize how much music can fulfill someone’s life. The act of singing requires you to pour your heart and soul into every piece you will ever sing. There is a quote that I saw that I can only think of the way to explain singing in a choir setting….

"To sing like this, in the company of other souls, and to make those consonants slip out so easily and in unison, and to make those chords so rich that they bring tears to your eyes. This is transcendence. This is the power that choral singing has that other music can only dream of." --Garrison Keillor

Getting back to the subject of “Life.” Life is hard, but someone has to live in right? I have been through so much stuff in my life that I find it hard that other people can not cope with their lives. I know people’s lives are people’s lives and what they go through may be hard for them. But you name everything that you could ever do/go through…I have been there, done that, bought the t-shirt. I mean, I have a whole wardrobe! Thus the reason I am the way I am. I try to give people what I have only wished for: love and respect. Though I must be careful of people that try to take advantage of that, it is hard for me to see another person go through what I have already been through and worked through. There are so many different people that I know and hold dear to me and I listen. People walk in and out of my life all the time and that is the way I like it. I take a little bit of everyone and add it to myself. I have a poem that can help me describe that…

Some people come into our lives and quickly go... Some stay for awhile and embrace our silent dreams. They help us become aware of the delicate winds of hope... and we discover within every human spirit there are wings yearning to fly. They help our hearts to see that the only stairway to the stars is woven with dreams... and we find ourselves unafraid to reach high. They celebrate the true essence of who we are... and have faith in all that we may become. Some people awaken us to new and deeper realizations... for we gain insight from the passing whisper of their wisdom. Throughout our lives we are sent precious souls... meant to share our journey however brief or lasting their stay they remind us why we are here. To learn... to teach... to nurture... to love. Some people come into our lives to cast a steady light upon our path and guide our every step; their shining belief in us helps us to believe in ourselves. Some people come into our lives to teach us about love... The love that rests within ourselves. Let us reach out to others and feel the bliss of giving for love is far richer in action then it ever is in words. Some people come into our lives and they move our souls to sing and make our spirits dance. They help us to see that everything on earth is part of the incredibility of life... and that it is always there for us to take of its joy. Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never ever the same.

I’m telling you people, people who come in and out of your life is an amazing thing. You never know who will walk up to you and be your next friend or even soulmate! Hence, I don’t judge or stereotype. It just isn’t worth it. I think everything happens for a reason.

I guess I am just rambling now. I am sorry I tend to do that a lot. But on a different note, I am not here for a relationship. I am spoken for and she knows who she is. However, I am always excited about meeting new and exciting people. So, if you want to know more about me and my ventures in life, please feel free to add me or to message me.

Ciao!
