About Me
Well, to be honest I do not like talking about myself most of the time. The reason for that is because I am a pretty quiet person, unless I know you very well or under other circumstances. But, about myself…In high school I loved to played football and I still do. I almost went to two or three other smaller schools to play but I chose UA. In no way shape or form am I disappointed with my college decision. Down to the point now: about myself…I am from Memphis Tennessee. I have lived in Memphis my whole life. I have I have grown up there. I think my family is getting to the point where we want to move because it Is not as safe as it used to be and because we have been there so long.
In high school I loved to play sports, and I still do. I played football and wrestled at my high school. Good news for everyone, I liked football better. I hated wearing the little tight wrestling uniforms called singlets if anyone knows what they are…miserable and embarrassing, but it is part of the game. But on the football side I almost didn’t come to UA because of football, but hands down, I’m so glad that I did.
Probably my most favorite hobby is duck hunting though. All, or at least some, of the guys can back me up on this one. Coming from Memphis, I’m a little under an hour from where I need to be for prime duck hunting. It’s a passion that my dad bestowed upon me before I even had a chance. But after the first time he took me hunting period, I was hooked.
Well, that is a little bit about myself. It’s not too descriptive, but hopefully it’ll give an idea about what kind of person and personality I have.

I've never been duck hunting...fly-fishing's the one for me. I lived in Colorado for a long time (gold-medal water) so that probably explains it.
