Everybody sees how you seem, however, only some know who you are.

About Me

Here is a little about me. I am single male. I am 6'1", 210, athletic, brn eyes, blk hair. Have been told I am smart, mischievous, adventurous, spontaneous, have a very good sense of humor, respectful and honest. I am very passionate about my career and am a very driven person. Family is very important to me and giving back to the community is also very high in the priority list. I was fortunate enough to travel and live in different parts of the world, hence giving me exposure to different cultures and traditions and to appreciate diversity. I am a huge believer of What goes around comes around and my world revolves around making a difference in people's lives. This quote by Rabindranath Tagore sums up my reason for being here in this world:
"I slept and dreamt that life was all joy
I awoke and saw that life was but service
I served and understood that service was joy"
On a side note:
If you are ever looking for people to play tennis, soccer, and volleyball, feel free to email me and count me in.
