I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships and Friends

About Me

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.”I have a strong desire to be the best that I can be without compromising happiness and a healthy state of mind. I'm excited for my future, I savor my past, but I try and live in the moment.My family cracks me up and being home is like nowhere else in the world... my father is half Albert Einstein and half Kramer and he knows everything you would never care to know. My mother is a peer in relationship advice and has such a large vocabulary you have to cut out half the words she says in order to understand her. My brother grew up tossing newspapers in the air and boxing them or hurling coat hangers down the hall at me - he has since then tamed his hyperactivity and now lives with his girlfriend in the Midwest and gives me my investment advice.I consider myself pretty well-rounded in that I have fun doing many different things - from hiking and exploring to bars and dancing. I love good food, breakfast, Southern CA sun, sand, traveling, new experiences and meeting new people...“We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.”
