I'm your atypical (but always awesome) All-American boy. My tastes are extremely eclectic and I can cut a fine balance between playful and proper, shy nerd and social butterfly, goofball and gentleman, or scholar and slugger on any given day, but I generally try to stay honest, optimistic, energetic, and sarcastic.

Friends have (derisively) described me as an adventure junkie but they'd be right; I'm all about new experiences, food, places, ideas, and people!

I like to think I'm a perpetual work in progress--life is too short and 24 is way too young to either stop growing or start stagnating already, and I'm partial to the company of like-minded people.

White-collar corporate enslavement, which (except for the pay) is really fucking boring.

Outside the cube cage, I'm probably traveling, training, or trying to learn something new.

Wearing a suit, kicking shit, packing light, being sarcastic, and (apparently) surprising people.

Probably a deep voice and a goofy grin.

Catch-22, American Gods, 1984, Siddhartha

The Prestige, Enter the Void, Blue Streak

Chappelle's Show, Seinfeld, Archer, Law & Order

Everything from Sinatra to Snoop Dogg, m-flo to Marvin Gaye, and Strauss to Swedish House Mafia, though I'm particularly fond of electro house and trance lately. Major extra points for fellow EDM heads!

Prime rib, Korean BBQ, gyros, potatoes in all forms, EVERYTHING!

I'm a simple guy with spartan tastes; I try not to really need anything but food, water, good friends, adventure, and a little booze.

how people lived without technology, how quaint and old-fashioned our lives will be centuries from now, where to travel next (SE Asia by motorbike or South America with a backpack?), what new thing will feed my adrenaline/adventure habit.

having a drink at any number of places, near or (ideally) far.

I still love watching Looney Tunes and Tom & Jerry.

you're equally as good at quoting Fitzgerald as you are at delivering 'Yo Momma' jokes.

You are game for anything, anytime.

Or if you want to hear a story about how my father once commandeered a ship over a coffee/drink/dinner (trust me, it's better in person).
