I am ambitious, tenacious, and sophisticated.
My Self-Summary
I was born and raised in the midwest and moved to LA two years ago.
I have been working for different entertainment companies since
that time and am concurrently taking college courses.
What I’m doing with my life
Working and going to school. If and when I am less busy or if I can
accomplish work and school from abroad, I am planning to travel
India and China. I am extremely interested in these and other
rapidly developing nations.
The first things people usually notice about me
Until people get to know me they often mistake my dry sense of
humor for being overly serious.

The six things I could never do without
Aside from the basic human necessities...books/information, people
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Building...Innovating...Ways to be more effective and efficient.
On a typical Friday night I am
I try not to determine what I do because of the day of the week.
Most work for the weekend, I work for something more. However, I
still enjoy partaking in the "normal" social activities of the
weekend.
In a beer pong tournament last year my teammate and I placed 3rd
out of a field of 96 (a more grueling tourney than your college
basketball team will participate in come march).
I am heavily weighing the idea of retiring on Top (or very close to
it). Although I can't help but feel that the temptation of playing
past my prime will be too great to suppress. I may be destined to
join the ranks of fellow Hall of Fame athletes (Such as Michael
Jordan, Brett Favre) who didn't know when to quit.
You should message me if
You have a central purpose or goal that wasn't "given" to you by a
deity. Which presupposes you're a free thinking, intelligent,
rational and ambitious being that loves life.
