I moved around a lot growing up. In my opinion, this was never a bad thing, but something of a grandiose adventure. I have had a wide variety of experiences and like to think of each day as something new and exciting. I am the oldest of three brothers and as such, never mistake my quiet nature for shyness. I always have thoughts rotating through my head and chances are that the quiet moment is due to an influx of mischievousness.

I am a designer by trade and a self-proclaimed painter by hobby. I let my life experiences influence my work, sometimes more subtly than overtly obvious. I have been known to get hours into a piece and completely paint over it on a whim. I love to laugh and I believe that without it, life would be quite drab.

Simply stated, I am looking for a partner in crime. Someone to laugh with and enjoy all of life's quirks and experiences. My only requirement? That you be yourself and trust in the decisions you make.

I am currently working as a Graphic Designer for a print shop in Albany. The ultimate goal is to own my own design firm.

The written English language (not to say that my spoken language is bad, only that it does sometimes lose the fluidity that written words can express), obscure thought-processes and spacing-out (I have mastered the art).

Who knows? No one has really stopped me to say:

"Your eyes are like two pools of merriment that I want to stare into all day."

But if you felt so inclined, by all means do so. Just not for too long...could get creepy.

Books? I love books. I read everything from the Lord of the Rings to The Iliad. Yes, I am actually reading the Iliad for fun.

My favorite movie is Empire Records, but I have a long list of runner-ups

I cannot possibly pin-point one exact thing that I think about a lot. Suffice to say, I am always thinking. Sometimes I think a little too much. Is that actually a problem or more of a quirk? See what I mean? I also have a habit of discussing one thing, running off on a tangent in a completely opposite direction and coming back to my original thought 10 minutes later.

It wouldn't be private if I wrote it out, now would it?

You want to get to know me better. Or if a little birdy told you to. Listen to the birdy. It knows all.
