Michigan, AFC Ann Arbor fan, lover of beagles and music. I write code for a living.
10 years ago, I met my best friend Champ. I was at the lowest point of my life and desperate for a lifeline, an anchor. Since then, he's provided me with the love and kindness I desperately needed to encourage myself to improve my life and my standing. And he will continue to do so.

Love you ❤️
