I am here for Friends

About Me

I am very involved in Give the Gift Sight. A charitable foundation that provides eye care to needy people throughout the world.
Visit my fundraising webpage at WWW.FIRSTGIVING.COM/JONDBEATON to find out more about the program.

I am an easy going, down to earth, fun loving guy who enjoys life with no regrets. My life revolves around my friendships, my family and my goal to see the world and learn as much from it as possible. I can accept what life dishes out, but not before trying to change a bad circumstance into a good one. I love traveling - back to Chile in August 07! Bhutan, Argentina, Jordan, Israel, and Turkey are next on my list! I can come across as shy and reserved, but only till I get to know ya...

My Interests

reading, movies, art, architecture, maps, traveling - Southeast Asia, Italy, Chile, boardgames, ethnic foods, anything outdoors, roadtrips to nowhere, gardening, spending time with friends and family, asian markets, catnaps, helping people in 3rd world countries see better and various other good deeds..

Wits, Smarts and Passions...if you got em then get in touch with me. New friends are always cool.

Hilarious, and strangely hot... Work it White Boy
