I am the breaker, of the fourth wall, and such.
My Self-Summary
I am a proud Brooklynite, who spent most of his formative years on
the island of Jamaica. A Jamasian if you will. I guess you could
say I'm your typical guy's guy, who's big into sports, beer, and
the like, but I've been told I have a sensitive side. Someone
else's words, not mine
I am usually busy with work, but I always find time to unwind at
some point in the week. In those spare moments, I'm lately found at
Muay Thai class, or hanging out with friends in the city. I don't
have much of a temper, although I probably should, considering that
I deal with Union contractors on a daily basis. I get by
though.
I'll close this out with some quick blurbs about myself. In no
particular order: gym rat, graphic novels / comic book fan, loves
Guinness, hates Bud Light, Yankee and NY Giants fan, action movie
buff, Neil Gaiman fan, Iron Maiden is my favorite band, loves
checking out live events.
What I’m doing with my life
I work as a construction Superintendent for Marson Contracting.
Currently, I'm working in downtown Brooklyn at an affordable
housing project that's wrapping up now. Always an adventure meeting
deadlines, all while avoiding falling sheetrock.
I’m really good at
- At some point of my life I was a decent bass player, and even
played in a band. Hopefully will shake off the rust soon
enough.
- I seem to defuse tense situations, at least according to my
bosses.
- I'm also not afraid to admit I have an encyclopedic knowledge of
sci-fi movies, and comic book characters.
The first things people usually notice about me

tend to open up around me.

I spend a lot of time thinking about
Honestly, mostly planning out the week for work, home, etc. On
other occasions...... it varies, but it usually involves politics,
strange metaphysical concepts, and yes, even love.
On a typical Friday night I am
It varies, but I'm usually out in the city with the crew at a bar
or concert. Otherwise, I'm at home cleaning up the house, reading a
book while my cat attacks the the back of my neck, or at Muay Thai
practice.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I tend to count calories. Really.
You should message me if
...you're willing to meet a somewhat...unorthodox individual, who
loves to have fun. I warn you I do like to converse quite a bit,
and loves to debate and learn new things. The only thing I ask in
return is that you also have some enthusiasm with exploring this
crazy world of ours.
