Making a self introduction to a group of listeners usually is designated for the first day of class or an "anonymous" meeting that was required by those who choose to wear a badge or be address as "Your Honor" - hopefully this is something else. =)

My name is Dave. I'm very creative when it comes to screen names obviously so make sure to compliment me on that talent. I work at a large financial services company in Irvine specializing in wealth management, investment portfolio design, life insurance and quite a few other rather dry (albeit important) specialties.

I'm also one of the few people trying to keep the wristwatch alive. It's an obsession actually. I play softball for a couple men's city leagues, love playing Chess and I'm usually always the banker in Monopoly.

I guess that will do for now... message away for more!

I've graduated with a Bachelor's in Business and am now seeking experience and additional licensing to become a full-service financial professional. Doing so has extended the hours in the day and further limited the sleep I already lack. One day, it should all be worth it.

With that said, I'm usually around people one or two generations past my age group.. so getting to know a few more within my 'realm' would be great. That means you, maybe.

I went to college without leaving my hometown which has allowed me to develop a close relationship with my friends from high-school and before. We still like doing absolutely stupid stuff together and I dig looking back at photos and videos as time goes on. But that doesn't mean I'm not looking for people to add to the group. That means you, maybe.

Listening. I like looking at sums of data to create meaningful information. Staying stoic... which can be a curse sometimes when trying to communicate effectively, but it is what it is.

Also... I've always been good at blowing smoke rings. Amazing how the most simple of shapes can be so intriguing.

And finally, I also text like a woman. Speedy. Efficient. Awesome.

I have a great deal of patience. I usually get a comment about my eyes every now and then which is great. =)

I love any movie with great character development. My music taste is very expansive, but love acoustic takes. My food horizon is constantly growing and I am always willing to try something new.

Respect, confidence, perception, opportunity, character, and most importantly mexican food. =)

I evaluate myself all the time and figure out ways to improve. I often find myself exploring my imagination and picturing myself in various scenarios - good and bad - and ask myself how I'd carry on.

Also, my dreams. Really random they can be.. like being a bumblebee.. who dreams of that? I do.

Sometimes the best friday nights are spontaneous and fluid, therefore the best answer can't be put down here.

But I usually always try and get out of the house... away from a computer where I usually spend 50+ hours of my time during the week at work.

I am stoic, but I've still got feelings.

You value new opportunities and meeting new people.
