The most important thing in my life right now are my family and friends and my dogs, Jake and Maggie. In March 05, June 06, and January 2012, I went to Belize to go snorkeling, explore the rain forests and caves, bird watch, and see the Mayan ruins. In July 07, went to Bahia de los Angeles, Mexico and swam with the whale sharks (and laughing at my classmates getting teary eyed at the sight of hundreds of dolphins at the bow of the boat, perhaps I might have gotten something in my eye, I say it was the salt water). In June 09, went snorkeling in Oahu, Hawaii with the sea turtles and fishes. In November 2010 and 2011 went back to Hawaii (the Big Island) to explore the volcanoes, night dive with the manta rays, and swim with the dolphins. Cliche, I know, but one of those things you just gotta do. As you can see, the traveling bug hasn't died and will be in motion for a long time.

I am working in the field of biology and I love what I do. It's a mixture of field work i.e. doing botanical surveys, wetland delineations, mitigation monitoring, bat surveys, or bird surveys and writing biological reports. Being able to do those different things at work, keeps things interactive and ever changing.

My interests are the outdoors, reading, baseball (Go A's!), hanging out with friends, going to the gym, traveling, playing dodgeball, indoor kickball, and volleyball in the XOSO Sport & Social League, and working on my family's farm. I love living on a farm because of the peace and quiet, and the sky at night is amazing. Also, I like to watch comedy and action movies. Some of my favorite movies are Ferris Bueller and Young Frankenstein. I like all sorts of music mostly alternative and rock. The Offspring, Maroon 5, Sara Bareilles, and Jack Johnson are my fave bands.

You know the typical answers: Family, friends, my dogs, the area I live, traveling, and sleeping.

Either relaxing at home, at the gym, or going out with friends.

For me to know and you to ponder.

you are a guy that is intelligent, caring, has a good sense of humor, honest, can be a goofball and doesn't mind me being one too, and has good morals and values. Maybe that's you.
I am compassionate, intelligent, down to earth, funny, and sweet. There is more, but you'll just have to find out for yourself.
