My self-summary
I am a fairly laid back guy. Originally, I am from the north, but moved down here to teach a few years ago. The weather is much nicer here, but I do miss my family and friends.
My job keeps me pretty busy, I usually have between 150 and 200 students at a time. Trying to prepare for class, grade paper and work with student's problems consumes a lot of time.
In my free time, I usually just relax. I enjoy watching football, baseball and the NCAA Basketball Tournament, although I do not let them run my life. If I am watching something besides sports it is usually primetime, history or something else interesting.
When I have time, I also try to run. Unfortunately, it is not safe to run where I live because of the traffic. I do go run on some trails, but it closes after dark and often I am in my office until it is dark.
Occasionally, I do spend too much time playing video games, but I am not one of those people that spends hours everyday and adjust my life to play games.

I am quiet, intelligent, and funny

What I’m doing with my life
Currently, I teach at a small university in North Carolina. Unfortunately, I am on a one year contract. Hopefully, I will get another contract next year. In case I do not, I am already looking for other jobs in the area for next year.

I’m really good at
I am not really good at questions like this. Most people would say that I am an intelligent person. I am a fairly decent runner. Most people tell me I am a good listener.

I have lived on my own in various places over the past five years. This has led me to learn how to cook. I don't do it a lot, but I am actually pretty good. Recently, I made pumpkin bread, just to see if I could do it. It came out really good. Now I have to make another loaf to take to my friends when I go up north to prove that I can cook.

The first things people usually notice about me
They usually notice I am a quiet guy. Unfortunately, they also assume that I am bookish and unathletic from first glance. While this is not true, they also soon notice my sense of humor.

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
I used to read all the time, but am a little too busy to read lately. When I do read, I try to read modern classics. Authors like Bradbury, Clark, Vonnegut and Orwell. I also like to read historical books, both fiction and non-fiction. My favorite has to be WWII. It is shame that I haven't gotten a chance to teach that part of history in class yet.

As for movies, I don't get to watch as many as I used to. I have a subscription to Netflix and do watch occasionally. The current blockbusters usually grab my attention, but I also like the older movies. I have found that foreign historical films can be fun to watch.

I like a lot of types of music. The station I usually listen to plays anything from the past four or five decades. The only types I can't stand is rap and heavy metal. I have no interest in music that talks about women like most rap and want to actually be able to understand the lyrics.

I spend a lot of time thinking about
It depends on what time of day and mood I am in. Early in the day, I usually think about what I am going to teach that day. In the afternoons, I usually debate whether or not to go run. Other times I try to decide where I want my future to go and how to get it there. I guess I do not have a one track mind.

On a typical Friday night I am
To be honest, I don't tend to do much. A week of work wears me out to be a partier. When I am up visiting my friends in Ohio, I like to go to sporting events, see movies or just hang out at home. Occasionally, my friends will get me to go out to a bar; but it isn't very often. I don't drink personally, and don't feel like spending my free time watching people get drunk.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit
Not saying yet. If I did tell you, it wouldn't be private. You will have to spend the time to get to know me.
