What’s up everybody, I've been tinkering around with this site for a couple weeks now, and I am finally becoming more familiar with it. I am into a lot of things, my favorite activities include: Hockey, Boxing, Fishing, Sailing + other types of boating, running for health and to burn off stress, discovering new music, and working hard. I have one older brother, Pat, who I am very close to. I am mid-junior, marketing major, and I am a resident of Vermont. I am a firm believer that music plays a large role in determining the direction of my life. Music fuels people’s emotions, whether they're positive or negative. Here is a song that I discovered last winter, its music video compliments the music nicely. I am into so many kinds of music; I especially like hip hop, rock, alternative, some reggae, and acoustic music. If you are into some of the music I am listening to, feel free to share your tunes, I am always down to hear new music.

These are the shoes I walk in. . .
