Overview:

I'm almost 27 years old, a father, a boyfriend, and a friend. I have a 13 year old son, with my longtime life partner, Ashtyn. She and I are just celebrating five years together. I also have an evil little brat dog, Oliver Twist. He's a shih-tzu with a lot of attitude.

 

I work full time as a writer. I was primarily a sports writer, but I've more recently focused on reviewing products for large companies such as Warner Bros., Lionsgate, Random House, Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony, and the list goes on. I get free DVDs, CDs, Books, Video Games, Toys, Software, PC Games, and so forth. You name it, I can most likely get it for free. I get to say if things suck or not, which is a really cool job to have.

 

I left college due to an injury, but I'm applying to return in the Fall. I want to complete my degree in filmmaking/screenwriting. I am an aspiring film director and writer. I also plan to double major in classics, in order to gain the knowledge to make historically correct, epic films. I also like writing psychological thrillers.

 

In my free time, I compose and produce music. I have 14 years of vocal training and can play numerous musical instruments including the piano, percussion, and the clarinet. I enjoy everything from Opera to Hip Hop and work with many big name music software companies (I've reviewed their products) such as IK Multimedia.

 

I also have a fascination and love for old movies, literature, and love watching my TV shows. I try not to miss Avatar: The Last Airbender, Dexter, Weeds, Big Love, Grey's Anatomy, 24, Journeyman, K-Ville, and Ugly Betty.

 

I love to spend time with Ashtyn, who is a brilliant writer and is also in school studying psychology with aspirations of becoming a sex therapist. I also love to watch sports (particularly football - Go WOLVERINES!) with my son.

 

By the way I am an FTM, transgendered individual who identifies as male. I understand some people don't get this or understand it and I've lost many a friend and family member because of it. I'm proud of who I am and proud to be honest in my heart and taking the steps to become the man I know I've always been. If you can't understand that and don't want to talk to me because of it, then I must say it is your loss because I am a great friend, a good person, and have a big heart. 


 
Disability
Disability Community - Member Type: Person with a Disability
Disability Type: Physical
Disability Name: Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type III
Disability Description: I was incorrectly diagnosed at four years old as having Werdnig Hoffman disease (SMA Type I). I have been more accurately, re-diagnosed as having Spinal Muscular Atrophy, which is also known as Kugelberg-Welander.
Assistive Technology: Wheelchair - Power (Electric), Lift/Transfer System, Shower Chair

How has your disability changed your life...for better or worse?: My disability has made me who I am. I don't care who you are. Without a disability, you wouldn't be the exact same person, because you wouldn't understand oppression in the same way. It's made me stronger and definitely more compassionate and open toward others.
How have you overcome obstacles?: One day at a time is my motto.

 
Social
Relationship Status: In a relationship
I'm looking for: Friends, Business Partners
Height: 5'3" - 5'4" (159 cm - 163 cm)
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Green

Overview:

I'm a Hellenic Polytheist. I enjoy studying my religion and learning about the spiritual aspects of my life. I have plans of learning the Ancient Greek language to further my religious studies. My religion is very personal to me. I am lucky enough to be able to share my beliefs with my loved one, Ashtyn.

I am a free thinker, a hard worker, and a great friend. I love to spend time with my friends, and believe that religion is something personal to each person. I'd never "preach" my beliefs to anyone nor would I try to force my religion down anyone's throat. That's just not the way my religion works.
