I'm a very affectionate, artistic young man who enjoys art in all forms. My ideal night would be spent watching a good movie while cuddling with the girl of my dreams. I'm very much a romantic. I'm also very open with my thoughts.

I absolutely love my music and I take it with me wherever I go. Generally, what I listen to can be described as relaxed or chill. I like my music to make me think and reflect and I also like it to have a message.

I spent 7 years (4 in hs and 3 in college) in a speech program which gave me the confidence to harness my speaking ability in front of audiences. I have given speeches to groups ranging from 2 people to thousands. I am very comfortable meeting new people however I tend to be a little introverted in large groups. I prefer more intimate and smaller groups when at "get-togethers" or parties.

I'm looking for someone I can share myself with. I would like to find a girl who is comfortable with herself and who is comfortable with sharing herself with me. I would like someone who has a similar taste in music... there's nothing like being able to connect over a song by Joshua Radin or Imogen Heap. I want someone who will take walks with me and who will read books with me. I'd definitely want my partner to be a cuddler as well. Above all, I want someone who can express themselves physically and verbally.

I'm currently working to graduate college. It's been a bit of a rough road. I've transferred colleges a few times and changed majors more times than I care to count. I'm finally going back where I started at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. I'm hoping to graduate within the next year. After that, I'd like to start a career in radio or public speaking of some sort. I will be taking 18 hours this Spring... so, being able to cuddle up with one of you would really put my mind at ease at the end of the day.

I consider myself skilled in speaking. I spent several year in a nationally recognized speech program and was awarded top honors in both informative and persuasive speaking on many occasions.

I'm also a world class hugger and cuddler. I dare you to find someone better.

I'm also wonderful at randomly popping into a British accent during conversations... especially when saying goodbye (I'm not entirely sure why this is, but it just happens).

I have seriously curly hair. No joke. It's pretty curly. I'd say that may be one of the first things. That or my kick ass hat. Go ahead... feel free to be envious. I know I would be if that hat weren't mine.

My favorite books include The Historian, Le Morte D'Arthur, The Once and Future King, East of Eden, Of Mice and Men, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, A Separate Peace, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Crucible, Peter Pan, and 1776

Favorite bands include: Angus and Julia Stone, Aerosmith, Amy Ray, Athlete, The Beatles, Ben Lee, Bob Dylan, Brand New, Cold War Kids, Colin Hay, Death Cab for Cutie, The Decemberists, Eurythmics, Flight of the Conchords, The Fray, Frou Frou, Green Day, Howie Day, Imogen Heap, James Morrison, Jars of Clay, Jet, Jimmy Eat World, John Mayer, Journey, The Killers, Lazlo Bane, Matchbox 20, Modest Mouse, Natasha Beddingfield, Nickelback (on occasion), Oasis, OKgo, Plain White T's, The Postal Service, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, Regina Spektor, The Shins, Simon and Garfunkel, Snow Patrol, U2, Vertical Horizon, The Weepies, Yellowcard, and Zero 7.

What I want to do with my life. I think about adventuring and exploring. I like to let my imagination wonder...

and whether my "Six Things" list is actually funny...

perfecting my Sean Connery impression... which would probably be easier, and more hilarious, if i were sloshed.

ummm... I laugh when people slip on ice in the winter??? But then again, I laugh when I slip and fall on ice too, so... yeah.

I also sing along to the opening credits of Scrubs. Always. Every Time.
