I love the PNW lifestyle, culture, weather and especially the mountains. My two kids are the most important part of my life. They are 6 and 8, we spend a lot of time outside looking at the world. They both are fairly proficient skiers, we will spend a lot of time at Mt Hood Meadows this winter and spring.
I have a job working with people to get their lives back on track, service is really important and a big part of who I am.
I have lived in TN, NC, FL and MN as an adult, I like those places and have friends there, but 13 years in OR has shown me there may be no better place to be.
I love my bikes, hiking, road trips, local beers and restaurants. I love most good music and going to see live bands.
I am a laid back guy who cannot be serious, I will joke about anything and love to hear the same. I am looking to hang out with someone who can always find the lighter side and appreciate what the world presents.

Living it as it comes to me. I have two great kids who I am actively parenting. I have a job I love. I am looking to buy a new house. I am planning a bike trip with a bro and a vacation for 19 this summer.

Taking pictures of myself and posting them

That I am not Brad Pitt

Books- A Confederacy of Dunces is my favorite book, Cormac McCarthy, John Irving, Vonnegut, Edward Abbey, Steinbeck (East of Eden esp) history or historical fiction, southern writers. Recently enjoyed Sisters Brothers and A Land More Kind Than Home. Currently reading One Man's Wilderness
Movies- Easy Rider, Pulp Fiction, Bottle Rocket, Life Aquatic, Dancing Outlaw, Coen Brothers
Music -Minutemen, Bad Brains, Built to Spill, Neil Young, Ben Harper, Meat Puppets, Ralph Stanley, Wilco, My Morning Jacket, JJ Cale, rock, bluegrass, punk, alt country, old country, some rap. I like music where the musicians are really getting at it. I hated country and bluegrass growing up in TN, later I realized those boys were often tearing it up. Bill Monroe is as hardcore as Ian Mackaye.
Food- stuff I don't make myself

My kids
Bikes
Music
Mountains
Summer, winter- fall and spring are not that exciting, wet and cold
Fires
Maybe not in that order

My new touring bike, I haven't bought it yet. It will be a steel lugged frame, not red.

At home. Friday is "Pizza and Movie Night!". I usually don't like the movie my kids pick or the plain cheese and pepperoni pizza but I love the night.

I get terrible songs stuck in my head and I sing them until someone else gets it stuck in their head

You are funny, smart, mellow
