During his school years he played many sports. He played baseball, soccer, and football. He enjoyed working with his hands. He could not be tied to a desk. He loved being out and about. He worked on various types of construction. His last employment was building Lenah enclosures where he was looking to start his own company. He loved it.

He lived with his girlfriend, Jasmine. They were together for 6 years. They would ride horses together and had many adventures of their own. They had 3 cats together, Beans, Coconut, & Tofu. He was an amazing, energetic and fun person. He would give someone the shirt off his back if they needed it. He loved his food and video games. He had friends online that he would game with often.

He loved all animals. He grew up with many pets. He enjoyed their unwavering love. In Florida he worked on a horse farm and enjoyed taking care of all the animals on the farm. He was a trial guide and would take people on high energy rides through beautiful trails. He took care of horses, goats, lambs, and pigs.

He enjoyed riding his bicycle like a BMX rider. He lived like he was invincible. His true passion was riding his motorcycle. He loved the wind in his hair and his guardian angel trying to keep up. He lived on the edge! He lived more life in his 29 years than most of us do in a lifetime. He visited a lot of places with his BFF's. He was an adrenaline junky. He jumped out of a perfectly good plane. We went on a cruise together. Many memories were created. One of which was while in the Bahamas is rode a quad, which he promptly got in trouble for riding it on the beach! LOL
