"I moved to Arizona from North Carolina to embrace a new adventure. I spent a few years working for the Department of Corrections (DOC) in Virginia, but quickly decided that prison life wasn't for me. LOL I am definitely a people person who loves to see others smile. My brothers are my life and I have four of them, so watch out...LOL. I also enjoy being outside taking in this beautiful state, whether it is biking, fishing or just taking a drive through the mountains. Fear of change has never been one to hold me back.
