I was the kind of kid that was drawn toward superheros and monsters over cars, legos' and electronic gadgets. I have always had a rich imagination, which has now carried over into humorous observations and ideas. I love laughing with people and getting to know what makes them tick. My major was philosophy and religious studies in college so I have always had an interest in meaning of life questions. I am more inclined to have dinner parties with friends and coworkers than go to a club. I am a personal trainer so exercise has always been a part of my life. I have traveled a lot through Asia and lived in Korea and Japan. Whenever I travel I am always drawn to the natural wonders of the country. Last year I went to Australia and this spring i went to Argentina. I am currently thinking about Turkey.

I am currently a personal trainer and pretty successful at it. About twice a month I have friends over and we have giant fish dinners. I have recently been experimenting cooking fish with my new grill. I enjoy sharing food with friends as well as hearing and telling stories. Looking at old ideas I have about myself and seeing if they are true. Searching for things that are conducive to calmness and relaxation.

telling stories about the absurd things that i notice around me. Seeing the humorous element in every situation. Being able to inspire others through exercise. Engaging with people. Being loyal and supportive to my friends.

that I am eccentric, humorous, engaging and warm.
