Live each day as if it is your last....Make the most of everyday
and in the end do not regret the things you have done, but those
that you did not do. I have always tried to follow these words and
experience all that life has to offer and never leave anything
behind and undone.Since I was a little kid I have always been the
adventurer in my family. Nothing was out of reach for me and if it
was I would always find a way. After growing up and graduating from
high school in Michigan I have lived on opposite ends of the
country, obtained 2 bachelors degrees, 1 masters degree, spent 4
years on active duty in the U.S. Army, was married for 7 years and
have 2 great kids.
Even though I work hard and am very professional in my work life I have a very laid back and relaxed lifestyle out of work. I am definitely the flip flop, boardshorts, and t-shirt type of guy. I know I should have been born in California. I love to get dressed up for the right occasion, but prefer my flip flops and running shoes. I am a very spontaneous person and love to give and receive surprises. I love to travel and would feel equally happy on a tropical beach surfing and soaking up sun as I would cruising down a mountain on my snowboard and relaxing by a fire with some drinks. I love food and I never count calories or diet. I enjoy going out and trying new restaurants, but I would rather cook a great dinner at home with a special someone or friends. Tattoos, I have them, 7 to be exact. If you are into tattoos and possibly have them yourself, that is a huge plus.
I love the freedom of snowboarding down a snow covered mountain and the majesty of standing on the top of a mountain and looking out over the beauty of the land below. It can be very surrealistic. I have always been very athletic and have played many sports: soccer, basketball, football, lacrosse. When I lived in California I took up surfing and love it, but havent been in a few years and am itching to get back. I am also a beginner triathlete. I was already a runner and swimmer. I swam competitively for 15 years of my life and in the Army I took up running and competed in the Army 10 miler and the Marine Corps Marathon. I recently took up biking and am training for triathlon season right now, but races are on hold till I can get settled into my new job.
Even though I have lived all over the country away from my family, I am still very close to them all. My parents live in Michigan and my older brother is in Charlotte. I talk with my parents and brother at least 3 times/wk and see them as much as our jobs allow us. My father, brother, and I have an annual trip to Las Vegas each fall to play golf and gamble on college and pro football.
