About Me:
I am a hopeless humanitaian / idealist, & a shameless dork / nerd!! - Thankfully God had the good sense to give me a decent rack.. [aka, my foot in the door]. But make no mistake.. Im far more than that. Feeling that 'character', integrity, prudence, compassion, charity, & fortitude are some of the most valuable traits 1 can have.. Along w/ a sharp mind & a philosophical sense of humor. This be my ethos.
“Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.†~Alexander Pope
