I'm a fun-loving and driven guy who was raised to be extremely friendly and social, which conveniently keeps my nerdiness closeted away for the most part. I've got a very low-maintenance take on life and a good sense of humor which makes me think I'm pretty pleasant to be around.

I'm an ENTJ, so expect a leader out of me. It shows up in my work, my friendships, relationships, recreation.. I can't help it, but I'm also happy with that description of me, and I think it's pretty accurate.

I'm respectful of other's beliefs (a necessity when you believe the exact opposite of your parents politically, religiously, etc..), but I have very strong opinions/beliefs of my own, and if you talk to me long enough you'll definitely hear about them.

I'm all for having fun meeting, hanging out with, and dating all types of people, but anyone I could see myself having a future with would have to be: honest, empathetic, humble, curious, affectionate, driven, and - most importantly - fun. I like to flirt and date around when I'm single, as long as everyone involved is fully aware of the situation, but I'm incredibly loyal when dating becomes exclusive.

I'm currently a web developer working with my brother to further our business, all the while trying to keep life fun and meaningful.

My life's ambitions are much, much bigger. My life will be a dismal failure in my eyes if I don't change the world for the better in some monumental way. Sound like heavy expectations? Imagine how it makes me feel! That being said, in my future politics are probable, although I haven't written off just getting rich and becoming a mega-philanthropist.

I've also got a pretty bitchin' business idea with the potential to change the world.. Just ask if you're curious.

Making people smile/laugh, debating, thinking, competition, figuring people/things/situations out, politicking, playing devil's advocate, listening, sarcasm, learning, being unbearably blunt, and of course, growing facial hair.

I'm also really good at empathizing and seeing the bigger picture. Abnormally good. I'm pretty sure it's a bad thing.

I suppose my smile, my beard, or that I'm very animated. If referring to less physical things to notice, it would probably be that I'm pretty quick-witted and (sometimes?) funny. Or if I'm driving, you'll probably notice me shamelessly belting out a verse from whatever music I have playing at the time. Again, in a very animated way. I sometimes wish I could be the other drivers, so I could get the laugh that they must get seeing me.

I am a proud culture junkie and love a wide variety in all of these areas, but I'll do my best to give some examples.

I prefer politics, history and philosophy in my literature. Mostly non-fiction, though I'd like to get more into fiction titles one day, I just can't find the time right now.. I've read enough news to fill most people's entire fiction library, which would be impressive if these days "news" didn't include what Lady Gaga wore, where Snooki spoke, or who Donald Trump said anything about.. I've got to get the hell out of this country.. Or at this point probably off this planet.

I love comedies and movies that make you think. I'm absolutely a critic, and I'm pretty damn good at picking apart themes, screenplay, and scripts (thanks small town AP lit teacher for being one of the few teachers I learned anything from). Given that you might think I'd be a movie snob, but you'd be mistaken. I love watching award-winners, flashy blockbuster flix and terrible B-movie horrors equally. (Well.. Ok maybe I'll take the award winners when I have the choice..)

Some shows on my list include Game of Thrones, Arrested Development, Archer, Dexter, Sons of Anarchy, Battlestar Galactica, Breaking Bad, and Walking Dead because it's in Atlanta of course... Oh, and zombies.

I was raised on Boyz II Men (strange, I know..) so I like to sing to R&B. Favorites in this area include the Boyz (obviously), John Legend, Cee Lo Green, and older artists like Al Green. I also love to jam to rock and rap. Notables: Incubus, Muse, Radiohead, Tool, Eminem, and Wheezy.

Lastly and most importantly, I could eat sushi happily at every meal.

-My ability to be willfully naive about a lot of things
-Reason
-Conversation
-My iPhone - Can anyone once they've owned one?
-My computer - it's my job as well as my university and theater/television (... legally.... shhhh..)
-Comedy, especially The Daily Show and improv

Philosophy: I can't even get started on this subject within such a small box. I love discussing it with civil open minds, however. Hit me up.

Politics and shaping the future: it's my ambition. This world has a lot of fixing to do...

My career: It takes a lot of my time these days, but it's also getting to be pretty exciting.

Most often I'm unfortunately spending a lot of time at home or the office working, but when I can break from those chains, you'll usually find me at an improv comedy show, out meeting people all over the city, or relaxing and enjoying a cocktail at home with good company.

I am, however, always up for a good adventure. I'll do just about anything once. It's good for you.

I give 1 star ratings to any girl that begins her profile with a bitchy "Don't even read this if..." blurb that's 50 things long, mostly talking about how precious her time is in comparison to all these lowly boys messaging her. It may filter out the bad guys from time to time (probably not), but I can absolutely guarantee that it will also filter out any guy that is worthwhile.. Just calling it how I see it.

You know how to participate in and enjoy a good conversation filled with lots of playful banter and the occasional profound thought. Sense of humor is a must, if you can't take a joke, you WON'T like me - period.

-Or

You simply like something you see and would like to know more about me, or think that I would like to know more about you.
