Some of my earliest memories include airplane flight. My father obtaining his pilot license before it was my chance to even stand up and walk, he put the baby seater in the airplane and had me up before I aged even one year. Usually it would be a weekend excursion, however we have tackled cross-country trips as well. Further in life I became very influenced by political process, impeachment all over TV, I felt as if I had to get in somehow. The most local office to me was a Republican campaign and so I went ahead and joined. There were over 6 campaigns I took part in before I left high school. One campaign was with a blind mayor of a small town in NJ, direct contact approach where we went to each and every home and it introduced me to thousands of people and, as such, viewpoints. Post high school, I began re-examining my ideology and sense of purpose in life and decided I was more a man of the left. It was during this time I became a music aficionado and heavily influenced by the local music scene. Through this music scene I met this girl whose car I got in and got in an accident which lead me to a local hospital. Knowing this, I asked if she had anything to read as the ambulance was arriving and she handed me a Jack Kerouac book "On The Road". Reading through that changed my perspective on life, it reignited the passion for travel inherent within me and since has led me to move from my home in NJ to cities all across the eastern portion of the US including Tampa, Largo, Fl, NY, Philadelphia, Savannah, Atlantic City and the like (being only 22 at this time, it is a big deal =]). I'm also an a fan of texas hold 'em and sunglasses.
