I rock! I left everything behind in Milwaukee and moved to Madison
a little over a year ago to start fresh and work on finishing
school. I come from a family in politics and wouldn't mind getting
involved in local politics in the future. I prefer to be able to
influence ideas and policies I feel strongly about instead of
complaining about it.
Sports is a passion of mine and I love playing and watching mostly
all sports. Anything from golf, football, basketball, baseball,
bowling, hockey, soccer (world soccer), and my personal
favorite....paintball. I use to play and coach a semi-pro team for
7 years. I still have to try Ultimate Frisbee and disk golf. A big
part of my love of sports though is wanting to work in that
industry, so it's a learning tool as well.
I am not your typical guy that anyone would normally meet though.
If that peaks your interests....I guess you will have to send me a
message to see for yourself.
I am attending UW-Madison for my bachelors degree in Political
Science currently, work part time right now as supervisor, intern
for the Wisconsin Wolfpack, working on a leadership program with
the Wisconsin Wolves and learning all about
entrepreneurship. I eventually
want to own my own businesses and I have been helping other people
I know with their business ideas. I work out at Anytime Fitness,
usually late at night when there aren't many people there. Alas the
most obvious, trying to meet more people here in Madison.
Knowing what I want and how to make that happen, as long as I have
some control over making it happen. I also am good at working with
my hands.
Grilling......just about anything.
My sheer size. I am usually referred to as a big teddy bear. Also
my blue eyes and smile.

4. I love trying new food. Some of my favorites are Mexican,
Indian, Sushi and Italian. I do pretty well as a cook too.
Anything and everything. Most of my time lately is divided up
between getting classes set for school, my internship and business
ideas.
If I am off during the weekend, I like to make trips to Milwaukee
to visit friends and family. The random road trip is awesome too if
time allows. Otherwise, after work I come hang out with my
roommates and other people that stop by, or hit a bar, grab a tasty
Guinness or
Jameson, and shoot some pool with friends. On a good night going
out for a walk with one of my roommates and just bounce ideas off
each other.
....you can provide fun and intelligent conversations. I am always
up for meeting and talking to new people. Who knows what might
happen....we even might become friends. :)
