I'm not someone that I can sum up in words. What I can say of myself is that I am a "good boy" and a "nice guy" (ya know, one of those that supposedly finishes last... bah on that). I am a Christian and I strive daily to make myself worthy of that title. If you want to know more than that, feel free to ask. I'm an open book :-).

I am...

a child of the King.
a slave to hope.
a servant of love.
a believer in passion.
a dreamer of greatness.
a writer of ideas.
a champion of lost causes.
a member of a dying breed.
a remnant of fading glory.
a man with a mission.
a giver of compassion.
a warrior of truth.
a provider to those in need.
a seeker of that which has been lost.
a desirer of that which is abandoned.
a speaker of sympathy.
an emissary of empathy.
a leader without an army.
a listener to whispers.
a responder to cries.
a soldier of light.
an heir to eternity.

I am...

I'm in college working on a bachelors of science and planning on getting a doctorate in Physical Therapy following that. I haven't decided yet. Either way, I'm also considering joining the Air Force and either being a Physical Therapist with them.

I really don't excel in any area; I guess you could call me a "jack of all trades."

I've got limited theatre experience. I've acted, danced, and sung on stage. I can set up light and sound equipment and, in a pinch, I can even operate them.

I'm an amateur photographer. I work mostly in film, though. That's why I don't post many on-line.

I'm a former athlete, having played football for 5 years in high school with one state championship and lifted weights competitively in high school for 3 years with another state championship in that.

I write from time to time, with plans in the works for 3 stories (not sure if I want to use them to make novels, screenplays, or a plot for a video game).

Academically, I excel and have a 3.941 GPA in my senior year in college. I can tell you a little about practically anything ranging from astrophysics to pirates (which was ironically enough, my range of career choices as a college freshman ;-D).

I'm an avid video-gamer, though I'm not very good at them compared to some of my friends.

I like to cook and I'm not bad as long as I have a recipe.

I could go on and on with stuff like this, but I'll refrain. Gotta maintain a little mystery ;-).

It varies from person to person. Sometimes my eyes, sometimes my smile. A lot of times, it's the black fedora that I wear :-). It makes me somewhat recognizable around campus.

I'm going to give a blanket statement: most of my favorite anythings depend on my mood. Music, movies, food, and books all depend on mood. I'm a fairly eclectic person as far as taste goes :-). But as this is a fairly general statement for an internet profile, I'll hit a few high point.

First, we're gonna invert the list just for kicks ;-).

Food (top 5):
1. Home-cooking... duh lol
2. Italian
3. Mexican
4. Chinese
5. Soups (not sure why I'm such a soup fan...)

Music (top 5 genres)
1. Alternative Rock
2. Classic Rock
3. Techno (no comments, please :-P)
4. Punk
5. Classic Country

Not a fan of most modern country or a majority of rap.

Movies (by genre... mostly)
1. Certain old black-and-whites like "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Arsenic and Old Lace"
2. Sci-Fi
3. Horror/Thriller (Note: I like scary, not gory)
4. Comedy
5. Action

Books
I'm gonna step away from the list format for this one. My all-time favorite of books are the ones by Michael Crichton, Ted Dekker, and Orson Scott Card. I also have a special place in my heart for fantasy, though I don't read it much. Beyond that, it really is hard to narrow down.

1. My God
2. My family
3. My friends
4. My xbox :-)
5. My quirkiness
6. My passion

My faith.
My identity.
My future.
Whatever project I'm working on at the moment.
How to improve myself.

Hanging out with the guys doing something. Usually playing games or watching TV or a movie.

I'm a virgin. I'm one of those wait-til-marriage types. I realize this makes me a freakish anomaly among the guys of the world but I am what I am :-).

1. I intrigue you.
2. You're looking for lively conversation and making a new friend.
3. You'll be honest with me.
