I currently live in Naples, FL with my 2yr old daughter and my wife of 4 years.

My passions include being present and active in my family and friends lives,all things fashion and art, and doing everything I can to give back to my community.

I run a few different bogs including a family blog TrippsinHD.wordpress.com and my main site Graftedidentity.com. Blogging for me is not about stardom, venting, creating an income, or venting. To me its about building relationships with people you'd otherwise be unable to meet. Graftedidentity.com is about giving people the chance to share their stories in a safe and honest environment and share personal stories of struggle and triumph.

I also volunteer teaching computer classes to adults, co-started a social medai/web consultation company, and work with non-profits.
