I am relaxed, comfortable, and driven.

My Self-Summary

Well, if you really want to get to know who I am, you can Visit My Blog, Follow Me on Twitter!!!, or add me on FaceBook I would speak volumes if someone who tries to get to know me outside of this limited profile.

I am a writer, a musician, and a magician. I do all these professionally, plus I have a "regular" job.

-I like storms
-I like animals, mostly dogs, but they are almost all adorable
-I love seeing cities at night
-I love working at the airport, being around all the planes. For some reason it still makes me happy.
-I like walking around downtown when there are lots of people.
-I like fairs, and fair food.
-For some inexplicable reason, I like globes and maps.
-I like to have a positive influence on people
-I like to be encouraging and inspiring, although sometimes people don't want to be encouraged and inspired, which makes for some sticky social situation.
-I am calm. I don't really get angry. I don't lose my temper.
-I like being active. The thought of sitting around the house watching tv or staying at my computer depresses me.

I work at a Global Logistics company, shipping valuables by airplane.

I also own a small website design company. Small, like, "3 clients" small.

I am also hired off and on to teach music, perform magic shows, write articles for newspapers, and fix computers.

I am currently writing a book on magic for a well-known magician/mentalist.

I am also writing a new magic show/theatrical production. It will take the place of my current show, the Essence of Magic. Which I may be retiring. Or not. I may keep performing that one too, as it is so much fun.

I have been fortunate to have written and performed music on two magic DVD's, Brent Braun's "Decks, Lies, and Videotape" and his new DVD Bullseye.

But I guess that's just how I make my money. That's not what I'm doing with my life. I want to have an impact on the world. I want to inspire people to be great. I want to be a better person myself. I want you to be a better person. I want the world to be a better place.

If, while I am here on this earth, I don't leave my mark, then what the hell was I here for?

I like books. I like driving in the snow. I like walking through the woods. I like the water. I like iced coffee energy drinks. I like cameras, and taking pictures. I like buying things that have a big owner's manual for me to read. I like making lists. I like Dance, Dance Revolution, and I am ok with that.

I hate losing my wallet and/or car keys right before I have to go to work.
I hate when my sunglasses are bent and I can't get them back to the way they were.
I like being alone sometimes, but I hate being lonely.

I'm not into watching sports all that much, although I can get into it if I am with friends who are into it. I like playing sports. More fun.

What I’m doing with my life

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold
and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

-Theodore Roosevelt

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Improving myself by learning, exercising, and experiencing new things.

What I can do TODAY to make the world better, to make myself better.

Finding a companion to go through life with.

On a typical Friday night I am

Right now, without a woman in my life whom I can spend my Friday nights hanging out with, I exercise, write my books, work on Wing Chun, or guitar, cruise the dating sites a little bit, clean my house so that I can enjoy a stree-free Saturday.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

You should know, I'm looking for that one girl who just pulls at my heart every time I see her. That one to whom I am willing to give everything that I am.
