Megan, Tennis, Running, Computers, Drumlines, Flying, Church History, College Sports, Fantasy Sports, Playstation, Hunting and Fishing!
Music
Any Electronic Dance Music (Especially Progressive House and Trance) and Jazz of all types. I kind of like country too, but I didn't earlier in life. I guess it kind of makes me nostalgic.
Movies
I used to tell my friends in college that, basically, if a movie has aliens, planes, ninjas (or the equivalent thereof), or Buford T. Justice in it, it's probably on my favorite movies list. Examples would include Star Wars, Firefox, Snatch, Stargate, Empire of the Sun, Iron Eagle, Troy, The Right Stuff, Top Gun, Lord of the Rings, Superman, X-Men, and The Matrix. I watch most other stuff too, but those things just don't quite make the favs list.
Television
I don't watch much TV. Just Sports, Movie Channels, History/Discoery Channel, Southpark, Chappelle's Show, and Family Guy (Stewie is my hero).
Books
I'm really not reading much in the way of books b/c I just don't have a whole lot of free time. I do make time to read the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette daily.
Heroes
My Parents, All Teachers and Soldiers, Willie George, Billy Graham, and anyone that gives their life to helping other people.

Dai Nippon Photo Imaging America Corp. San Marcos, TX US Technical Account Manager Walgreens
I'm a Technical Account Manager for Dai Nippon Photo Imaging America (I know...it's a lot to say so we'll stick with DNPPIA). For those that don't know DNP, they're a Japanese-based photo printing company. Basically, I oversee the product I managed development of called the Nexlab that was sold to Walgreens. I don't want to bore you with the details. It's basically a photo lab system that prints orders from Film, Internet, and Kiosk. I'll leave it at that.
I'm recently happily married and living in Houston, Texas. I know! I finally broke down and became a Texan.
I've been a lot of places over the last several years and this probably won't be my last stop, but I really like it here. I am able to work from home 3 days a week and travel to my company's office in San Marcos 2 days a week. It's so nice to finally be living with my new wife, Megan! Let's just hope they get our new house done soon.
The last several years have been a roller-coaster ride for me. I grew up in Southeast Arkansas in a little town called Hamburg. I went to college in Clinton, Mississippi, and after college I went to work for Eckerd Corporation, as an IT Technical Specialist. About the time Eckerd was sold and moved to Rhode Island, my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer. I decided to move to Tulsa, Oklahoma to be closer to him, take some theology classes, and figure out what I really wanted to do with my life. Finding a wonderful girl was in the back of my mind, and I was successful in that too!!!
While in Tulsa, I started working as a server for a restaurant called Charleston's. In time, my responsibilities grew to the point where I was shiftleading and managing the office. I made some wonderful friends there, and that place will always be very dear to my heart. It's also where I met Megan :)
I actually liked the restaurant industry a lot, but after Dad died, I decided it was time for me to grow up and use the degree my parents paid for. I also wanted a lifestyle with more normal hours and benefits. I'll have to admit the pay is much better now too!
I played tennis and ran cross country in college, so I'm a huge sports fan. My undying sports love is the Razorbacks. I'm really excited about Coach Petrino and new AD Jeff Long, and I'm hoping things turn around up there quickly. Regardless, I have finally come to realize that being from Arkansas in itself can be a humbling experience. Fortunately, I'm a runner, and my Razorbacks are so much better than any school in Track/CC that it makes up for the recent bad football/basketball years.
I'm not much for writing personal stuff and I'm getting bored, so this should about wrap this portion up.
Who I'd like to meet:
Jesus Christ, Apostles John and Paul (Gotta give props to the guys I'm named after), John Wesley, Darth Vader, Mr. T, Chuck Norris, and General Zod!
Hey brother...I'm sorry that I had to leave the wedding so early, but I had to get ready for work and be there by 5 b/c apparently Tim broke his toe and had to go to the hospital and Blake had to manage the store.
Anyway, it was an awesome wedding. Megan was gorgeous and you looked pretty good too for a white boy. I hope that you had fun on the honeymoon and enjoy being with each other for the next few months. I'm very proud of the both of you!
what's up? I hope you had an awesome holiday season! I really had so much fun chating at the reunion, oh and how bout them hogs beating the national camps!!! PIG SOOOUEEEEE
