Hey, I'm not big on talkin about myself in "about me" sections. I prefer conversation or gettin to know someone in person. But here's a taste...

I am a young professional, who does IT for the govt in the DMV area. Im a hard worker, who likes to work smart, and play harder. I'm an optimist, realist, and opportunist all wrapped into one so I rarely have a bad day because things could always be worse, and you can pretty much always catch me with a smile. I was raised by both of my parents, so I know how to be a man and what a woman needs. I'm a traditional and chivalrous kinda guy; I open doors, pull out chairs, give up my seat, etc. It's who I am and will always be.

Im currently working full-time. I also enjoy researching new investments and working on my master business plan, one piece at a time. I live in the now, but I'm also planning for my future.

Outside of work/money, you can always find me in community service, helping out friends, or traveling the world. Most recently: New Orleans, for the SuperBowl, Feb '13. Next Up: Dominican Republic, just because, Memorial Day weekend '13. After that: Vegas, for my 25th bday and Halloween weekend, Oct '13.

Spades, cooking, fiscal responsibility (saving money / spending wisely), board games, staying positive, and just having fun with everything that I do. I'm really spontaneous and will keep you on your toes.

From what I'm told, my smile, eyes & eyelashes, and butt.

Books: Who needs a book...that's what they made movies for lol. Sike nah, but for real, I am a good reader, but I don't actually find it fun so I don't do it in my leisure.

Food: 3 fav foods are Pizza, Tacos (ones I cook, not from anywhere else), and Crabs. My favorite category of food is Seafood, mainly Salmon, Shrimp, and Tilapia.

Movies: Comedy, Action, Horror, Sci-Fi, Mysteries

Music: R&B, Rap, Pop...in that order.

Shows: I love TV shows although I rarely get a chance to watch them all.
Martin is my #1 favorite show of all time! The rest in no particular order: The Real World and the challenge shows, The Colbert Report, The Daily Show, Friends, Seinfeld, Tosh.0, The Soup, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, The Jamie Foxx show, Chappelle's Show, Scrubs.

Sports: Football is #1!! Go Ravens! Now that, that's out the way....Basketball is a close 2nd. Boxing is good. Hate Nascar. The best thing that came from Baseball was fitted Baseball caps. Not a big fan of soccer. Hockey is cool. Not into golf. Tennis isn't as bad as it sounds lol. Track and Field, Swimming, Gymnastics all cool in my book. I'll even watch Competitive Cheerleading so long as the girls are pretty lol jk.

God, family, and friends. I know it said six, but those three are all I need.

How to make my money work for me, so that I don't have to work for my money. Because I'd much rather spend time with loved ones than at work.

Out with friends having a good time. At a bar, party, dinner, or movies. I like to chill sometimes too so if i've had a long and tiring week u may catch me on the couch watching a movie and sippin a glass of White Zin or Riesling.

I'll tell you a few...
+The Notebook and The Time Traveler's Wife were both great movies. Lol Don't judge me.
+I love to write poetry/spoken word.
+Role Models: My Father, Will Smith, President Barack Obama

If the part below sounds like you and you like what you saw & read on my page, then speak up. Closed mouths don't get fed.

I believe that some of the best relationships are formed from strong friendships first. What's important to me in a female is someone who has goals - not only having goals, but actively planning and working towards those goals. A down-to-earth personality and a good sense of humor are key, as well, because I love to have a good time and laugh.
