I am a hard-working guy, who loves to run, hike, camp, and enjoy the outdoors; I currently run my own photography business, and am waiting to ship to Basic Training for the US Army. I am extremely family and friend oriented, and value them more than life itself. I am fiercely loyal, and find myself attached very easily. I wear my heart on my sleeves so to speak, and it usually ends up in heartbreak for me. I prefer things straightforward; just say it like it is, and there's no problems. I'm fairly intelligent, and love to discuss things, and ponder over new ideas frequently. I love to read, although I rarely get a chance anymore. I tend to be fairly shy at first, and almost always lose my words at first, but I open up quickly.

Ok, besides that, I'm in love with Psychology and Photography. Wherever I am (most of the time), you'll usually find me with my camera, or trying to figure out why some person just did what they did. I love pondering the meaning of the universe, and generally tend to be a "jack of all trades". If you put it in front of me, I'll be able to fix it...it may take a while and a little research, but I'll be able to. I love researching random things, and learning how things work before I even encounter them. I hold my honor above everything else, with the exception of my country, and my family, for whom I will gladly sacrifice it for. I am a liberal, but not in the common stereotypical way; I have an extremely open mind, and am willing to hear your opinion on anything (as long as you can back it up). I absolutely abhor people who are fanatics about their religions. If it means so much to you, keep it to yourself (if only closed minds came with closed mouths). Pretty much if you're happy with your religion, good, I'm happy for you, but please, don't force it upon me. I love debating things with my friends though (and it MUST be a clearly defined debate, so I know you're not shoving something down my throat), everything from religion to whether humans live in the present or the past (memory-related subjects), and pretty much whatever we can get our hands on.

I am extremely proficient with a map and compass, and I know exactly which way I'm facing at all times, even within a building! The end result of too many land nav courses :P

I'm currently waiting to ship for Army Basic Training, and AIT, after which I will return and attend college at Central Washington University. My first child is also due around the time I return, but the mother and I decided that we are not going to get together again, and we are going our separate ways. I hope to earn my Majorin Psychology with an emphasis on Cognitive Behavior Psychology, and a minor in Digital Photography and Military Science. I currently own and operate my own small photography business, AdventureSport Imagery (www.adventuresportimagery.com).

I have a child on the way, but I am not going to date or marry the mother. We are raising it as friends, and going our separate ways.

I tend to jump to conclusions.

I care too much.

I'm very open, and you can ask me about anything (including, but not limited to: my dreams, goals, people in my past, why I'm feeling like I am, sex, etc.)

Message me if you're intelligent, athletic, enjoy the outdoors, enjoy taking photos (or getting photos taken of you), love discussions, and can survive on your own if need be (in case I get deployed). Loyalty/faithfulness is an absolute must!!!!   Send me a message!
