About Sam
(Taken from my blog at www.bigsam82.com)
Sam is a 25 year old special education teacher. He resides in the lovely Searcy, Arkansas, where thousands live as millions wish they could. He is also a graduate student working towards a master's degree in counseling. His ultimate desire is to work with marginalized children & their families.
Sam is a Christian. He firmly believes that the most important part of his life is his faith. This is what drives him in his work with children with disabilities.
Something Sam really loves is music. When he is not saving the world one child at a time, he can almost always be found rocking out with his iPod. He sings along loudly regardless of his location. This often makes for amazing & spontaneous car concerts which can be heard blocks away on days when Sam is cruising with the windows down. He is world renowned for his improvisational steering wheel drum solos & impeccable work on the electric air guitar.
Movies are a large part of Sam's life. It is not uncommon to find Sam cozied up with his gorgeous girlfriend Brooklynne enjoying a movie. Seriously, she's hot! His life is frequently changed by movies that touch his heart. Some of his favorites are To Kill a Mockingbird, I am Sam, Rain Man, Dumb & Dumber, & Willow.
All in all, Sam is a pretty amusing guy. He loves life & tries to help others to do the same thing.
