My Story

Since the film I have done so much and most of it has taken me on a thrill ride. I have learned the important things to me in life are family friends and having fun. I believe life is not worth living if you're not enjoying yourself with the things that matter. I have been rock climbing, wake boarding, water skiing, and snow skiing. I have been traveling a lot, talking to people, giving some speeches, and trying to get my foot in the door in Hollywood. I have always wanted to be a part of "showbiz" and I am kinda headed in that direction.

It's not always what you do, but how you do something that can define you.

When I'm at home and not on one of my adventurous trips I'm at home hangin' with friends helping in any way I can. I do some charity work, but not much. When I do I turn to the Wounded Heroes Fund... I also fought for a bill with Gary Sinise on building a disabled veterans memorial. Last summer I went white water rafting in the Grand Canyon. That was a hoot. Hopefully you will see me on the big screen one day. I leave you with this to think about. It's not always what you do, but how you do something that can define you.
