I'm Irish by ancestry and American by rearing, and I've lived in Wisconsin for nearly all of my life. I hold my family (including an extended network of cousins, aunts, and uncles) very near and dear, and my faith is an important part of who I am and what I'm seeking in life.

I'm an avid reader, mainly of novels and nonfiction history. I'm also a writer, and although work has recently bitten deeply into by time at the keyboard, I'm continuing to write novels, and I do regular book reviews for an e-zine called Black Gate. My circle of friends is small but close, and I have three siblings and a few cousins who might as well be brothers with whom I keep up close contact.

I un-ironically enjoy long walks on the beach, as well as long walks through mountains, forests, and pretty much any other terrain. I try to spend at least a couple nights a week doing martial arts at a local dojo, and on off-nights I go on short-runs or do a little weight training while watching movies. When winter rolls in I'm hoping to step up my snowboarding game.

I also enjoy the occasional bout of video gaming, anime, and even boardgames and tabletop RPGs. In fact, I'm a rather good Dungeon Master.

I'm employed as a delivery driver and patient contact for a home-health pharmacy. I'm looking for work as a technical writer or report writer. In the meantime, I'm studying martial arts and writing.

Writing, kung fu, discussing books, philosophical pondering

God, the universe, and plots for stories.

Watching a movie, preferably with friends all around and a beer in my hand, making a phone call, or reading after work

I eat a lot of breakfast cereal.

You think I sound interesting, you want to teach me something new, or you think I might be a fun companion for a night on the town
