I enjoy running, cycling, independent films, photography, cinematography, martial arts, and paintballing.
Good question. I've asked myself this question a few times before. I would like to meet someone who will sit down with me and have a good conversation. I would also like to meet different music lovers. I think everybody has a soundtrack of their lives and I am hoping to make a soundtrack of my life someday.

I believe that anyone who contributes to freedom and the human rights movement, such as Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela are heroes. I also consider Actor Steve McQueen, Lee Marvin, and Audie Murphy because they kicked ass during their time period. Most importantly, however, I also consider my parents as my heroes.
