Don't let my pictures trick you...I may be 100% Korean, but I was raised in a mostly Italian family!

I'm 26 years old. I have a Bachelors Degree in Music Education. Beyond being qualified to teach music in New York State, I am also quite a good performer.

PLEASE NOTE: I am planning on joining the Vermont National Guard so I can play trumpet for the 40th Army Band, which means that either at the end of March or beginning of April I will be shipping off to basic training. Fear not, though...that means I'll only be gone for 10 weeks. Once I return, I'll definitely be game for meeting up with people!

I enjoy hanging out with friends, doing just about anything music related, and making myself and my friends and family better people. I love knowing about people...what makes them who they are, what they like, etc.

One thing that sets me out from the rest is that when it comes to relationships, I can cover most aspects of one...I'm very much a romantic and a gentleman, but I also don't mind experimenting and kicking it up a notch or two! But I've had my fair share of failed relationships (one that ended terribly wrong a couple years ago). I want to learn to be able to trust someone again. I’d much rather cry tears of happiness than tears of pain.

I've recently lost over 20 pounds for the afore-mentioned Army requirements.

I am musical, funny, and unique!

PS: If you put in your profile that you will always respond, then respond! Even if it's to say "sorry bud, I just don't find you interesting", then at least you'll be staying honest!

My birthday is July 14, but my Plane Day (the day I came to the US as a little 6-month-old bundle of South Korean-exported goodness) is January 31.

I currently work for the NYS Department of Labor processing unemployment claims while still looking for another teaching job. I also play trumpet in Capital Brass! and also play in other community groups on both trumpet and percussion.

I am a HUGE sci-fi junkie! Star Trek, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate...they're all awesome!

I've started playing trumpet in shows around the area again. My list from 2012 includes "The Music Man", "Guys and Dolls", and "Pippin".

I also started playing golf this past summer.

Btw, I find the questions the OkCupid asks to be fairly irrelevant...gettin to know someone is where you find the real answers.

Being a musician, a good listener, and a good friend. I'm very quick with witty jokes and remarks. I always try to see the good in situations, even the worst ones.

And I'm quite a gamer (not to the extent that I know every game, but the ones I do play I'm quite good at!).

That I'm Asian (Korean, to be specific)

I’m quite a random person, but I’m also a wealth of knowledge you didn't know you wanted to know, so ask away!

I'm very much into science fiction (Star Trek, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Stargates SG-1 and Atlantis). I also love Family Guy, Comedy Central stuff, History Channel...a big mix of things. I love good action movies and comedies. I don't read much as far as books, but I have a TON of music (mostly piano and trumpet, some guitar).

Food: I love it...fast, slow, fancy, easy, it's all good! If it's yummy, it's mine!

Music: I've yet to find a type of music that I don't like, and challenge anyone to find something that I don't like!

Sports: Yes, I know it's not one of the "favorite" categories, but I'm putting in here anyway! I'm a HUGE Yankees fan (as all good upstate New Yorkers should be). However, I am not a NY or NE football fan...I am a Denver Broncos fan. Yes, you read that correctly...DENVER BRONCOS BABY! College-wise, I'm a Florida State fan (which makes cheering for Tim Tebow interesting but right now the Broncos trump the Florida/Florida State thing). Also, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kevin Harvick are my heroes!

1) Family and Friends
2) Music
3) Starbucks
4) Sports (especiallly NASCAR)
5) The will to succede
6) Something to make me happy

* These objects are in no particular order!

My future, where I'm going in life, and if I'll ever find that special someone.

Hanging out with friends when I can. Otherwise, playing video games and watching TV. I'm also a huge fan of horse racing (harness and flat track), so I'm often at the Saratoga Harness Track...and during those magical 40 days in the summer, I'm there just about every weekend. Yes, I like to gamble, but I only spend a little here and there, and I know how to bet smart!

Occasionally visiting some of the fine local drinking establishments that the Capital Region (mostly around Saratoga) has to offer, but I don't drink often.

I have many facets of myself that make me an extremely unique person, but most of them one has to find out themselves. If you'd like to know, just ask...but one must first ask to find out!

One thing that isn't really private, but more of a bit of an obsession, is that I absolutely LOVE the Stage & Screen music station on Time Warner Cable!

Oh, and my favorite duet song to sing is "A Whole New World" from Aladdin

You're looking to meet someone who doesn't necessarily conform to what society thinks is perfect, and someone who's willing to make a relationship work. I'm a geek, a nerd, and the kind of person who you see on the street and say "he seems happy with life". Also, if you can put up with someone who's a total music nutjob, that's a plus as well!

And also if you like going to Starbucks or grabbing a bite to eat someplace yummy!!!!!

Oh, and if you think that you love music more than me (fair warning...it's not possible!)

Honestly, I'm looking to meet new people and see where it goes. I love talking, so don't be shy about sending a message, even if you're not sure what to say! I'll respond no matter what!
