My self-summary
I was born and raised in New Jersey. I do have an accent, but it is not as heavy as it used to be. Honestly, it magically comes back once I'm at the dinner table with the family...funny how that works.

I love to laugh, so a good sense of humor is a must. People that are close to me say that my laugh is thunderous. The only thing louder is my sneeze...seriously...it's loud. I've also been told that I am a 50/50 mix of a teddy bear and a rottweiler. I think that's about right.

I am a firm believer that the traditional "gentleman" is on the endangered species list. I'd like to think I am one of them, but I am surely not perfect. Training may be required every once in a while, but for the most part I am safe to leave on auto-pilot amongst family or friends.

Running, working out, and generally living a healthy lifestyle are important to me. Bonus points to someone who also enjoys the same, and who is not afraid to give me a challenge. I would LOVE to go on a nice long run with a woman. Fitness is not the only thing that I find important, however. A nice smile, sense of humor, or ability to sling a chef's knife with me in the kitchen are all qualities that I find attractive. DISCLAIMER: Note that I said "with" me in the kitchen, not "for" me in the kitchen. Jus' Sayin'!

The last 10 years for me have been a wild ride. The Navy opened me up to incredible possibilities. I have been all over the world, grown both professionally and personally, and still love my career. Luckily, Uncle Sam saw it fit to send me to Postgraduate School to get my MBA. Once I'm completed, I'll be able to keep my rear-end in one place for the next several years...maybe even longer. I'm extremely excited about Philly!

I do have two kids, but they do not live with me. Although I only see them once a month, I always keep them close in heart (they live in Virginia). Hopefully a lady out there can be understanding of my relationship with them!

That is all, I suppose! Please stop in to say hi.
What I’m doing with my life
Professionally: Currently I am working on completing a Master's Degree in Defense-Focused Contracting and Acquisition.

Personally: I sculpt clay...something I really want to explore further after I retire from the Navy. I am also a certified chef, so I like the idea of opening my own restaurant.
I’m really good at
talking to complete strangers, speaking my mind, not judging others, standing up to bullies, sculpting, running long distances, eating sandwiches.
The first things people usually notice about me
I like to laugh, and typically like to make people laugh.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Movies and Books: I enjoy anything historical in value, especially the Civil War and American Revolution. I love to laugh, so comedy is probably at the top of my list regarding movies.

Music: As far as artists...David Gray, Pete Yorn, G. Love & Special Sauce, Keane, The Darkness, The Shins, Bob Marley, and basically ALL Classic Rock bands.
As far as Genre...CLASSIC ROCK!!! I enjoy all kinds of music...it really does depend on the mood I am in. While I am in the gym it is typically Metal, at home it is usually classic rock, and while studying it can range from classical to reggae to modern.
The six things I could never do without
1) Sandwiches
2) Seinfeld or Friends re-runs
3) My running shoes
4) My hard drive filled with music
5) The gym
6) My Chef's knife
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Family & Friends...did I mention sandwiches?
On a typical Friday night I am
It varies! Can anyone really effectively answer this question?
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I have a third pinky that grew on my back. JUST KIDDING!

But I do love to eat breadcrumbs out of the container.
