I think it's hard to sum up anyone in a single paragraph, but if I must scratch the surface, here goes:

I am (in no particular order):

An endorphin addict.

I am probably the most passionate person you will ever meet.

My life is a never-ending series of "I guess you had to be theres" and "stuff you just can't make up." In other words, I am a magnet for wacky adventure. I love trading stories, so if you've got a good one, tell me! I promise quite a doosie in return.

I am unconditionally loyal and will do just about anything for anyone if they ask . . . no, not that you pervert! . . . well, maybe. :)

I am a trivia buff; I consider it continuing education.

I enjoy playing, from sports (football, lacrosse, tennis, skiing) to board games (Connect Four, Scrabble, Crossbows and Catapults) to bar sports like bowling, pool, poker, etc. I'll beat ANYONE at ping pong. You name it, I probably play it.

I swing dance.

I play the drums, guitar, bass, and piano. I used to play in a pretty prominent area rock band. That is currently on hold, however, as I am currently business school bound.

I am working on two screenplays and a novel that will probably never see the light of day, as there aren't enough hours in one - but they're still a good read.

I am outspoken, brutally honest (to my own detriment), and err on the side of verbosity, but only 10-15% of that is fluff, I swear!

I love substantive conversations, a good debate, and have never been much for small talk, but chances are I could make you laugh on even your worst day.

For some reason, people tend to reveal their deepest, darkest secrets to me after only knowing me for a half hour - I guess that makes me a good listener . . . and trustworthy.

I am an open book; what you see is what you get - sure, I have regrets, but none that I am too ashamed to admit.

I am very low maintenance.

I don't play games.

I will never back down from a fight if the cause is just, even if I know loss is inevitable.

I still adhere to antiquated notions like honor, integrity, and chivalry.

I love a good challenge and I am a great problem solver . . . unless of course it applies to my own life! I'm working on it, though.

I don't understand the concept of finding yourself, as I've known who I was from day one; this isn't to say I haven't grown.

I am a Renaissance Man in every sense of the word; I haven't truly mastered anything, but I know enough to get me by in virtually everything; I'd like to think my experiences have made me well rounded . . . and grounded.

I am a hopeless romantic and fatalist, but believe that anything is possible if you work hard enough for it.   Send me a message!
