I am selfless, driven, and romantic.
My Self-Summary
My name is Shawn. I am 29 going on 20+10. I am originally from
Albuquerque and have lived in Denver for about 3 years now. My main
focus right now is getting my 2 businesses off the ground. My week
days consist of school in the morning than working in the
afternoon/evening. I love spending my weekends doing
volunteer work or
watching
sports or
picking up the digital camera and going for a drive to some place
in the mountains and just having some fun relaxing without the big
city stress. Some things I love to do would include a picnic
followed by a lacrosse game or a Rockies game. Or perhaps a venture
to the farmers market followed by an evening of experimenting in
the kitchen with the random things we stumbled on to try. I am
addicted to the show Good Eats. I love
tattoos. I love dogs. My goal is to own
my own charity fundraising
business. I am not a huge drinker, but
sitting down with some good vodka or a tasty bottle of wine is
never a bad thing! I am pretty down to earth but I am also a clown
and can from time to time say the most off the wall random thing. I
love movies of all genres.
What I’m doing with my life
Currently, I have a full plate on my hands, but as the say idle
hands are the devils playground right? Currently, I go to school
full time (4 classes at Front Range CC) which will be applied
towards my eventual BA in Entrepreneurial Management from
CU-Boulder. I work full time at a mindless but easy job. I do the
call volume forecasting and scheduling for a call center. I am one
of the behind the scenes folks in other words. Also, I am currently
in the process of starting up and running 2 businesses. Both are in
conjunction with each other. The parent company is going to be an
organization that essentially takes the fundraising element off of
charity and non-profit orgs plates. I will come to the company and
partner with them to do the fundraising so that they can focus more
on actually providing the service or charity work they started out
to do. The 2nd peice of the company will be a merchanside and
clothing line with charity in mind. All profits from that side of
the company will be diverted to create cash flow for the
fundraising parent side of the company. I am also very involved in
actual charity work itself. I just recently held my first event
under the umbrella of my company which was a bbq/party to raise
money for the Race for the Cure breast cancer walk. I also
participated in the walk itself.
I’m really good at
making people around me
laugh! I am certainly the class clown of
my group. I am also very good at motivating people and being that
rock of support. Almost to a fault as it has led me to get burned
by several people but I cannot change who I am nor would I want to!
I am also damn good at cooking and I love to be creative in the
kitchen!
The first things people usually notice about me
My tattoos or my color changing eyes (sometimes deep blue,
sometimes grey and sometimes green).
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Favorite books would be anything by Vince Flynn or Dan Brown. I am
so excited to meet Vince Flynn later this month!! I cannot
wait!
Favorite movies, hmmm.... I would say in no particular order just
some movies I love are Very Bad Things, Swingers, Braveheart,
Boondock Saints, Step Brothers, Old School, Anchorman, the Bourne
series, Good Will Hunting, Fever Pitch, Major Payne and many many
more.
Favorite music would be O.A.R., Coldplay or Dave Matthews Band. I
also have a secret love for Bone Thugs n Harmony and most of the
90's hip hop scene back when rap was fun! I love heavy metal too
when I am working out or driving home from a rough day at
work!
Favorite food, I consider myself to be an Iron Chef. As in, give me
a secret ingredient and let me see what I can do with it! My
restaurant I want to own will be mostly eclectic in the sense of I
like making random pairings and always trying new things!
The six things I could never do without
Coffee, my Blackberry, my sense of humor (even when alone, I can
make myself laugh haha), my sunglasses, my large hat collection,
music (ipod, cds in the car, pandora streaming)
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Ideas to get my 2 companies moving forward!!
On a typical Friday night I am
working than going to a movie or out trying to find some fun live
music
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I am a hopeless old fashion romantic
You should message me if
you love to laugh, are looking for a down to earth but adventurous
guy and are just looking for someone really fun to be around!
