I am the first to admit that a self-summary is probably one of the hardest things to write, since I believe my actions speak louder than words. However, I am often described by my closest friends as a dedicated, hard working and determined person; a leader if you will. I am happy and very confident with the person that I am and hope to make new friends and find Ms. right. I am also a firm believer that in order to love someone else you first must love yourself.

I have a broad range of interests whether it is running, sports or hiking in the great outdoors. I am a member of the organization, New York Road Runners. I run anywhere from 3 to 5 times depending on what I am training for. I run. Alot. I have completed 4 NYC marathons and will be completing another one in 2013. I hope to shoot for sub 4 hours in the marathon.

I am that guy that wants to live life to the fullest and enjoy every waking moment. I go out on the weekends or run races to balance out my 9 to 5 work week and maintain a certain level of sanity. I always find time for my friends and family, but it seems I still have some time to spare. I am a genuine and generous person; I care not because I should, but because I do and I try to help others as needed.

Just Be - Dj Tiesto
You can travel the world
But you can't run away
From the person you are in your heart
You can be who you want to be
Make us believe in you
Keep all your light in the dark
You're searching for truth
You must look in the mirror
And make sense of what you can see
Just Be
Just be

They say learning to love yourself
Is the first step
But you take what you want to be real
Flying on planes to exotic locations
Won't teach you
How you really feel
Face up to the fact
That you are who you are
And nothing can change that belief
Just be
Just be

Cause now I know
It's not so far
To where I go
The hardest part
It's inside me
I need
To just be
Just be

I was lost
And I'm still lost
But I feel so much better

Cause now I know
It's not so far
To where I go
The hardest part
It's inside me
I need
To just be
Just be

I am Adventurous, hard-working, and goal driven

Working as a systems administrator for a not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to find affordable housing for individuals with mental disabilities.

Contemplating a career change away from computers and IT to something along the lines of sports rehabilitation, espeically ART (Active Release Techniques), a form of myofascial release and trigger point therapy. This would allow me to not only help other individuals who are athletes and weekend warriors function to their best potential, but also allow me to be the best I can be and utilize my passions of running and my expertise in science.

Running, Traveling, Computer Networking and Security, Hiking, Backpacking, Camping, Sports, Giving advice and being great listener. I am also very good with my hands, not afraid to take things apart, tinker around with them and fix them.

Will I ever find the right woman for me?

Now a days, perfecting my running so I run in the least amount of pain and helping others achieve their goals.

In addition, I am always thinking about ways on making my life even more fulfilling in all aspects, especially socially. I know the right person for me is out there - it is my job to find her.

And whether or not I should change my career and pursue something else that would enable me to use my love/hate relationship of running to help others obtain their goals.

There is no typical Friday night. One Friday night, I may decide to do a nightly run followed by a quiet evening home watching a movie. Another Friday, I might be hitting a bar or a club or a pool hall with some friends. I have also been known to plan a hiking/camping excursion for an extended weekend. I am always looking to try something new and interesting.

That what seem liked the worst thing that happened to me so far in life at the time turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me. It transformed me to a better, stronger person.

It made me realize that sometimes you need to go through the depths of hell to get to heaven and what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger.

If you are a honest and caring woman who is free spirited and has a general direction of what they want out of life. You love life!!! I also find women who are extremely confident, sexy - the woman who sees a man who they find attractive and decides to go over and make a move rather then waiting for the guy to come over.

Someone who is always striving to be the best they can be and one who thinks they can handle being depended on yet, be independent at the same time.

One who isn't afraid to laugh but also can also be serious at the same time. Someone who likes to confront challenges head on rather than running away from it.

And by all means message me if you want to, I will write back I promise!!!
