I am a very open and flexible person, but at times I can be quite particular about things and maybe even picky. I am a very easy going person in regards to many things, but flakiness, dishonesty, and disrespect are things I have a very difficult time dealing with. That being said, surprisingly enough I am a people person :). I love witty banter, joking around, but can also be a shoulder to cry on and can be very serious as well.

I believe that it is more important to have few people that really matter and you can trust in your life as oppose to many that you just "hang out" with. This being said if I care about you I am very loyal and will be there when you need me. I also believe you get what you give, so I work hard and play hard as well.

I feel any day where you do not teach or learn something is a wasted day. That being said, I guess I am absorbing as much as I can and sharing as much as possible with others. For a very long time I made work and my career the #1 focus in my life and missed out on so much. That being said in February of 2011, I made a huge, risky decision and pulled myself out of retail management to try something new and create a better life/work balance. I went back in to sales and worked in Custom Home Services for ADT. It was pretty rewarding to take a learned skill set and apply it to saving lives. I did however missed leading people and recently went back in to retail management and currently am a General Manager for LensCrafters.

I am a great listener, and good at breaking things down. Karaoke, useless knowledge and brainstorming are additional talents and passions as well. I can also be a very sarcastic hell fire from time to time. I am also an amazing bullshit detector, so keep it real :)

Physically the first thing people typically notice are my eyes. As for personality people say they see a mixture of smartass and seriousness. They also love my honesty and sincerity.

BOOKS: I do not read as often as I should but I have enjoyed many self help and leadership books. I also enjoy books about religion, investing and the differences between men and women.

MOVIES: I love all sorts of movies in many genres. I mostly watch documentaries, comedy, action, sci-fi and love stories. Some of my favorites are Somewhere in Time, Mr. Holland's Opus, Shawshank Redemption, Star Trek and Star Wars (original 3). I am also in to your classic Mel Brooks and Monty Python comedies like Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Spaceballs, Holy Grail, Life of Brian etc...

SHOWS: I do not watch a ton of current television shows, but when I do, I can often be found viewing Food Network, Travel Channel, History and Discovery. I have been streaming tons of older stuff through netflix and reliveing my childhood :)

MUSIC: Is engrained in my soul. I love to sing and love to listen to music. I like just about all kinds, but 80's music is my favorite.

FOOD: I am not picky about my food but am in some ways... I prefer quality over value. Good food is much more appealing than cheap food. My favorites are Mexican, Sushi, Dim Sum and Italian. My favorite overall food is Prime Rib.

FAMILY: We have our problems but we are close
CLOSE FRIENDS: I do not have a lot of them but the ones I have are not replaceable
INTIMACY: Sure sex is intimate and I am not saying I can live without that, but it is not what I mean by intimacy. It's all about touch, and closeness
HUMOR: So many things in this life are serious, we have to find things to laugh about
MUSIC: One of my biggest passions
MOVIES: I love a great movie, sadly enough sound and visual effects are getting better, but plots and scripts are getting weaker.

How to take the next step, I am always looking to better myself personally and professionally. I also spend a lot of time thinking about my family and what I can do to be there for them as much as possible.

Either sitting at home watching a DVD, seeing a new movie and grabbing some dinner with a friend, or out grabbing some drinks. If I am just geting to know someone I don't like going to the movies right away since you can't really talk and get to know each other. Grabbing coffee or dinner and drinks is always a nice start

Just ask me, I am very open and if I like you I will tell you. I do not have a lot of secrets.
