| Personal |
| FAMILY:
Divorced father of 4 children. He spent his blood, sweat and tears
since 1975, building toward his success to provide for his family.
He has three, silly, loving and wonderful boys that live locally,
as well as a beautiful 24 year old daughter living in NY and will
be making him a grandfather in May of 2008. He enjoys and makes
the best of his time with his boys. He is the third of four boys
in his immediate family. His brothers, mother and cousins mostly
all living in New York near where he grew up.
RELIGION:
A christian since birth. Raised as a Catholic. Attended Catholic
school through 8th grade. In the 90's, he taught 2nd grade Religious
Education for several years. Jamie was active as a sound technician
for Christ United Methodist Church in Myrtle Beach. He believes
in the institution of marriage. He is humbled by his failed marriage
in 2004 to a person who wants nothing more than to make him regret
that he had ever loved her.
PERSONAL:
Jamie is a caring and loving father. He tends to only
work about 35 hours a week, sometimes more when the children are
not around. Outside of his business life he is a mild mannered,
easy going, silly, friendly, modest, open minded, sensitive and
a fun loving guy and may try to make you laugh. A self made man.
Goes to the gym regularly. Believes he has a successful and exciting
life and loves to share it.
AS
IF YOU WANTED TO KNOW: Jamie can cook, clean and more.
Jack of all trades, master of none! Loves his recently remodeled
home on a (real) lake with it's big kitchen, stone, pool and more.
He provides for all his children, loves to travel especially tropical
locations, cleans and maintains an impeccible home, his office,
on the other hand is not always so impeccible. HELP!
