10 Things About Me

I was tagged to do the below list. So, I apologize if you don’t really care about any of the below information.

10 interesting things about me:

1. Many of you know this, but I love Ultimate Frisbee. There’s nothing quite like hucking the bee, snagging the disc, laying out. Oh, and when you actually are playing it helps you to get in shape!

2. I enjoy photography. I try shooting pictures at unusual angles, framing them 10 different ways, and taking 20 different pictures. Unfortunately, my talent is not natural so I might take 100 pictures, and still not have a good one!

3. I have started two novels, and not finished or made much progress on either. Actually, I think one is lost forever since I started it 11 years ago!

4. One of the proudest moments of my Chad-centered life was playing a solo at Baylor called “Nicole” on my trumpet in front of a couple of hundred or more people. Lindley and I weren’t even dating, but she came to support me. It was not my best performance, but I still thought it sounded almost professional.

5. I am an insurance broker, and, if you would like to learn about Texas Non-Subscription versus Texas Workers’ Compensation, I’d be happy to chat with you.

6. I am a huge fan of snow!

7. I once ate 167 jalapeño slices in a jalapeño eating contest, and the guy next to me hadn’t even broken a sweat. Fortunately, they called the contest after two hours, and we both won a t-shirt. Go Baylor Athletics!

8. One day Lindley bet her dad that I could eat 5 Big Macs in 20 minutes. A few days later, when I found out, I ate 5 Big Macs…in 12 minutes. This was followed by 6 Whoppers on two different occasions while driving to Ultimate tournaments. 12 years later, I now have to have an accountability tracker on my blog to get my weight back in shape. Go figure.

9. I once bench-pressed 335 lbs. Now I wouldn’t be able to get near that.

10. One time, in band camp…just kidding. I’m happier than ever, love my family and am looking forward to son number 2!
