About Me

"On any day of the year it is summer somewhere in the world..."
I feel like an oppressed extrovert, or am I just an introvert? It's great when the open side takes charge. I'm definitely the jack of all trades, master of a couple type. My roommates make fun of me cause I've always got 10 projects going on in my life at once. I'm a technology/computer geek, and love to get outdoors away from it all. I'm a huge believer in always strengthing the mind, body, and soul. And the other day I, no wait, that wasn't me...
I swim and I bike and I run. A lot. Probably too much. Right now I'm all signed up and getting ready to go to Arizona in April to do the Ironman. It'll be my first, and I can already feel butterflies in my stomach when I think about it. I love pretty much all water sports and practically have gills behind my ears.
I believe the key to life is being a good person. I'll do anything for my friends, even though at times it's proven to be my downfall.
I'm tall, and when people ask me if I play basketball, I usually ask them if they race horses. I'm goofy too. Self deprecating humor is often my only saving grace.

My Interests

Mountain Biking, Road Biking, Triathlon, Swimming, Running --and racing any of the 5, Computer Animation, Graphic Design, Photography, Drawing, Offroading, Camping, Surfing, Bonfires on the beach, SOBE Bomb!

I'd like to meet:

I don't know many people here, especially outside work, so say hi. If you know any great places to explore on this island, you just made a new friend. And yes, I'd love to meet an awesome girl out here...the taller the better.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

Take the quiz:
What type of swimmer are you?

Breaststroker
You are a BREASTSTROKER! Congratulations you frog. You have one of the sexiest strokes and even though you go last in your lane during practice, you can beat up the other swimmers with your arm and leg strength. You are very smart, and you pay attention when the coach talks. Although you are capable of swimming other strokes, you enjoy this one the most because you have a good sense of rhythm & speed which when put together results in one kick ass swimmer.

Music:

Tool, U2, David Gray, Counting Crows, AFI, A Perfect Circle, Rage Against the Machine, Brand New, Pete Yorn, V.A.S.T., Bodeans, 1 Giant Leap, Pepper, Snow Patrol, Soshamon, 311, Alkaline Trio, Aphex Twin, Jack Johnson, Deftones, Mathew Good Band, Mineral, Modest Mouse, New Radicals, Nine Inch Nails, Placebo, The Killers, The Postal Service.

Heroes:

Always, my Dad, cause at 53, he still plays full court basketball 3 times a week, running 20 year old into the ground while still playing clean, can kick my ass flat out no problem on a mountain bike (though I think I've almost got him on the road bike), and the word dude is still a regular part of his vocabulary.
