Family, friends, my health and fitness and enjoying my day to day are priorities to me. I grew up playing sports and love football of either definition! I enjoy the crisp air of Fall, most things pumpkin and beautiful colors, but also love the beach, the water and the sunshine. So, my favorite season's a toss up.

I'm loyal, honest, a closet nerd, sarcastic at times... I like my independence but don't like to sit alone in a room and appreciate a door being opened for me. I'm shy but not quiet. I am somewhat of a Tomboy but girly. I have a tough exterior but a huge heart, and so the list goes on.

I'm looking for someone who takes good care of himself and those around him, values his friends and family, is passionate/driven and will respect my sense of independence, while spoiling me every now and then. It would also be greatly appreciated if you enjoyed making me laugh... I love to laugh.

Doing the best I can to enjoy each day, learn something new as often as possible and just be me...

I am lucky enough to have a job that doesn't feel like work, gives me plenty of perspective and can make a bad day better. I do not take that for granted.

My eyes. Or how freakishly white my teeth are...

Honestly, it's hard for me to pick favorites, I like a lot of things and my top 10 changes frequently...

The ones that make frequent recurrences:
- Mint chocolate chip ice cream;
- Pepperoni pizza;
- Dill pickles;
- Bones, CSI, Grey's Anatomy (yes, I know, it's stupid, but I can't help myself...);
- Remember the Titans and Man on Fire
- Country music

A variety of topics: I have a very active mind.

probably out with my girls somewhere or home on the couch unwinding with a good book or movie.

I have an affinity for movies that involve terrible acting: I find them SO entertaining. (i.e. movies starring Vin Diesel, Tyrese or The Rock...) Some nights, I just love to watch the tragedy unfold and laugh.

If my initial email to you seems a little dull, please don't hold it against me. I'm not great at opening lines with strangers. :-)

You'd like to get to know me better...
