biography

biography
Erick Ashely Snow is the only child of Allison and Sean Snow. Being born in Japan to a father in the military most of Erick spent his childhood traveling from base to base with his parents. On the one hand Erick loved seeing all the new places, (heck, he still loves traveling and seeing new places.) On the other hand, picking up, and moving, leaving friends and family behind all the time got really really annoying. Aside from the constant moving around Erick had to deal with an alcoholic father and an emotionally distant mother, but little Erick somehow survived and grew up to be a normal well adjusted young man....mostly.

Once he graduated from high school he could not wait to head off the college. Yes, college meant the start of a new life for Erick, his own life. He was going to get away and start living the life he had always wanted, or at least that was the plan. Tufts University in Boston became his new home. Wanting a simple major so he could really focus on himself some he picked American Studies, (he was an American...how hard could it be study America?)

It was while in college that Erick really began to bloom. He was finding himself and figure out things about himself and one of the biggest things he discovered was that he liked boys. Yeah that actually came as a shock to him. He had spent most of his school days focused on school and study and well dating never really came up. College was different and he found that he not only liked boys, but a specific boy, his roommate, Kiernan Lyons. As luck would have it the two of them eventually figured out they both had similar feelings and a relationship blossomed. Like all relationships they had their ups and downs....a lot of downs at the start. Erick's parents didn't take his coming out well. There was no shouting, or fighting, or any of the drama he expected instead his father simply hung up the phone. When Erick tried to call back he couldn't get anyone to pick up and the next day the number had been disconnected. Instead of dealing with it, his parents simply shut off. Erick was hurt, and yet he wasn't surprised so he accepted their choice and hasn't spoken to his parents since.

However, Erick's parents were not the only ones upset to find out their son was gay. With the beating Kiernan received from his father Erick was certain that would be the end of their relationship, but they survived and their trials made them stronger and closer, even after the end of their romantic relationship the two remained close friends, the best of friends. After college Erick received a position at a museum in California. It didn't take long for him realize that American Studies might not have been the correct choice of studies for him. He felt lost, confused, and slightly hopeless; what was he suppose to do with himself now? It was in this time of doubt that the answer came to him in the most unlikely of ways....a car wreck. Erick was walking to work one morning when he witnessed a car accident. Instinctively he raced to help. Despite the chaos and such he managed to stay calm and keep a level head helping out where he could. One little girl was injured with her mother unconscious so Erick road with her to the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital and the little girl was taken to her room Erick suddenly knew what he wanted to do with the rest of his life. Heading back to school at nights he studied hard and received his nursing degree. Yes, Erick wanted to heal the sick, calm the scared, help others, and he looked damn sexy in scrubs.

Before long he was working at a local hospital as a nurse and loving every minute of it despite the crap pay, long hours, extra work, and arrogant doctors. Erick actually did love it, all of it, and the work was good for him kept him busy, perhaps too busy. Dr. Andrew Wren thought Erick was becoming a little too consumed in his work so he suggest some down time, with the good doctor of course. Erick had at first been taken off guard by Andrew's affection, but he had to confess he really enjoyed it. After he had broken things off with Kiernan, Erick really hadn't dated much and the good doctor had become a breath of fresh air. Before very long the two became close. Erick discovered a new passion...Andrew. Slowly his drive for work began to fade, and he discovered the joys of being a kept man. Yes, he played housewife and loved every moment of it oddly enough. A life of leisure was not such a horrible thing after all, besides, he learned all kinds of new things: cooking, cleaning, pottery, dance, scrap booking, knitting. Yeah, Erick has a lot of skills. His life with Andrew was practically perfect in every way, but like all good things it of course came to an end.

Back in March of this year Andrew was killed. Freak accident. He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and was shot during a convenient store robbery. Erick was devastated at losing his partner, but Andrew's death was not the only harsh blow to be dealt to him. In life Erick had honestly thought Andrew was perfect, but once he died Erick began to learn some harsh truths. Andrew was married, separated from his wife, but still married and had a small daughter. Andrew also had debt issues and to help pay for those things he had used Erick's identity. Now his partner was dead, a liar, and he had massive debt with no way of paying them back. He felt like a dog who had been knocked down and then kicked over and over.

However, that was then, and this is now. And now Erick finds himself in Myrtle Beach at a small hospital working as a nurse again, but part-time. Nurses make little pay and with all the debts he still has to take care of he needs to make some small money on the side, well actually he needs to make a lot of money on the side. One of the interns at the hospital mentioned stripping as a great side gig for earning extra dough. Alright, at first Erick was a little too proud, but desperation eventually won out. The Lemon Twist is a local little gay strip club and Erick happens to be a pretty awesome little stripper. Dancing under the name Angel he is finally finding his niche and moving on with his life. Yes, life is good once again, and it can all only go up from here, right?
