A person who wants to be a leader must turn his back to the crowd

About Me

|....I'm a unique and multi-talented amalgam of contradictions: some see me as an overachiever but others a waste of talent; laid back but the fiercest of competitors; team player but also seeking personal glory; intelligent but don't like using my brain; love to learn but don't like to read; tireless but need my 8 hours of sleep; charismatic but shy; creative but practical; methodical and predictible but enigmatic; a loner but enjoy the company of those i love; detailed but unfocused; serious but playful; I despise the spotlight but fear anonymity.... My nephew Nicolas, a.k.a. "the King" and the newest member of the family. I LOVE this little guy!!!

..

My Interests

Working out, playing & watching soccer (can't wait for the next World Cup), College Basketball, THE CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BEARS, music, movies and of course women (I'm "man" enough to admit it).
