Living in Atlanta for the past 20+ years and have come to learn that I will probably always be calling this place home. I moved around a lot growing up and thought after college I would start moving again. I lived in Australia for 6 months, Utah for 6, even toyed with South America for a little bit. But, somehow, someway, Atlanta always called me back home. That said, I love this town but also love getting to travel seeing new places and meeting new people.

Trying out many different jobs. It use to be working outside helping people during storm disasters. For the past year, it's been an 8 to 5 working in finance for a concrete construction company. This past August, I started school again to earn an EMBA so between work and school there hasn't been a lot of free time. But when there is a moment or two, I try to volunteer around Atlanta and when a week can be carved out of my schedule, I head overseas. 4 years ago, I started a non-profit foundation called World Water Missions and the group works in rural, undeveloped, third world countries like Haiti and Liberia. We install water purification systems for villages, hospitals, clinics, and orphanages. If I'm in town and have a free weekend I try to spend it at the house working on a home project or going to a festival or trying to get to the lake or mountains. I know some people are geared to have big plans with their life and lofty goals to attain, which is great, but right now, I'm taking it a day at a time and loving the journey.

... finding a silver lining, being resourceful, and leading the pack.

My out-going personality. I'm naturally curious about other people and all sorts of topics. As a result, I find myself easily engaged in conversation with strangers.

Favorite books include: Pillars of the Earth, Farenheit 451, Alas Babylon, The Fountainhead, A Guide to Biking in North Georgia.

Movies: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Last of the Mohicans, The Big Lewbowski, National Lampoon's Vacation, Stranger than Fiction

Favorite music? Easy. It's the show I'm about to go see. Bluegrass is a current guilty pleasure. Thousands of One, Elephant Revival, Shawn and Straum. These 3 albums are in my truck as I type.

Favorite foods never change -- sushi, great southern cooking, empanadas, oysters, and almost anything from a backyard grill. But when it comes to restaurants... I don't really have favorites. I just like going out for dinner.

how things work. I'm not one who tinkers, but I love to understand machinery and equipment, electronics, concepts, and the world around me. I spend time on the little ironies of life too. Why we drive on parkways but park in a driveway. Why is a structure called a building when it's already been built. Hypotheticals and 'what if' scenarios tend to bang around in my head a good bit too. Typical stuff, that's what I spend my time thinking about.

sitting in a classroom every other Friday night, then doing it again all day Saturday. Going back to school while working full time is a daunting challenge. As a result, movies on a Friday night or dinner with friends have become a highly valued activity.

Karaoke is my guilty pleasure.

You are comfortable in your skin, like to try new things, have a 'bring it on' kind of attitude or just enjoy meeting new people.
