Greetings from my concrete nightmare. I’m a 5’11 ¾”, 165 lb blue-eyed, formerly blonde-haired (now it’s brown, no sunlight), passionate animal lover looking for friendship, love, or a challenge. Ever had a dream you didn’t want to wake up from? Well, I lived those dreams. I won a basketball state championship in high school. I was a professional wrestler in MidSouth Wrestling.
I formed and led the largest and most successful guild on our World of Warcraft server. I recruited, taught, mentored, and befriended people of all ethnicities and backgrounds, ranging from junior high castouts to doctors, from potheads to an NBA player. Then, on a trip to SeaWorld, I had an epiphany. Why have I never pursued a career with animals? So, I changed everything in my life. Through college and volunteering, I became a veterinary surgery assistant and assisted in 18,000 surgeries.
I then had a brief but impactful stint as an Animal Welfare Officer before becoming a senior large mammal keeper at the Oklahoma City Zoo. I successfully trained multiple species that most said could not be trained there. I helped breed endangered species like the Okapi, Grevy’s Zebra, Rothschild Giraffe, and African Painted Dogs.
I helped save a dog that someone tried to saw in half. I even worked in South Africa and Botswana saving baby rhinos whose mothers had been poached, a baby hippo that was stuck in a well, and a lioness hit by a car. Anyway, my charges do not represent the truth. And I’ve gone from living my dreams to surviving a nightmare. So, give this tattooed, loving, kind soul a chance. Ask me anything and everything. I’ll be here writing books and hoping to hear from you.
