I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

My mantra: work hard and play harder. Life is an adventure, dig it! All about living life to it's fullest where friends will always come first. Lead somewhat of a fairy tale life. Sometimes find it hard to believe the things I get to see and do.Bail to the four corners of the planet whenever possible. Worked six months last year, travelled six; Europe, Asia, Australia, the world is my playground.My favorite places: Ibiza, Italy, Vanuatu, Costa Rica, Australia, the Louve, Thailand and Vegas. Have swam in the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic Oceans, the Caribbean and the Med too. Havn't found water yet I didn't like . Walked on every continent except Antarctica (soon). Experienced living in Spain, Greece, Kuwait, and travelled throughout thirty two countries thus far, all adding something to my life. Definitely a "glass half full" kind of person with an positive outlook on everything. Permanently happy and always optimistic, extremely driven, high energy, unique, wholehearted, non judgemental, certainly mischievous, mildly metro sexual and perhaps a bit vain, but completely at home in the outdoors as well. Keep it healthy (for the most part), eat well, at the gym six days a week, bike 150 miles, run 20 and swim 10 every week, time permitting. Have to be on top of my game, think you can keep up? Grew up working on commercial fishing boats in Alaska(14 seasons, starting when I was 12), worked in zoos early on where I spent my days swimming with killer whales, dolphins and sharks on a daily basis, spent a few years more collecting live sharks for public aquaria(now just a hobby), presently work in underwater heavy construction and subsea engineering(commercial diving).Navy construction, oil platforms, bridges, dams, ships, subsea pipelines, etc. I have more wetsuits than most people have socks. I rather enjoy having the odds stacked heavily against me and beating them.Don't tell me something is impossible, it will only provoke my desire to prove you wrong! Impossibilities are conjured up by small minds and quitters! "Make every obstacle an opportunity".Trying to work a program with the Make a Wish Foundation to fulfill terminally ill children's hopes of swimming with their favorite marine animals. Someone needs to hold their hand, can't think of anyone more qualified. Other items are in the works as well, time will unfold them. Mahalo

"There are two types of people in the world: those who stay at home, and the Others" -Rudyard Kipling...I am definitely an Other! "I trust that I shall act- as I now think that a man who dares to waste one hour of time, has not discovered the value of life...there is nothing as intolerable as idleness" -Charles Darwin "Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; truth isn't" -Mark Twain...Welcome to my World! "Give me a place to stand and I will move the Earth" -Archimedes

My Interests

Things I love: My work, the gym (with my Ipod on, always), biking, surfing, running, kayaking, clubbing with my closest friends, hiking, big dogs, working with sharks, being in, on or under water, coming home Sunday morning with your sunnies on well after sunrise, afternoons in the pub with Aussies or Brits, great music and better friendships, Sunday morning breakfasts, afternoons at the beach, kissing slowly and loving truly, my girl, sleeping in for the right reason, evenings dining out, Halloween, laughing uncontrollably, muy thai kickboxing, sushi, thai food, green tea, coffee, late night company, good wine, a better martini, snowboarding, backpacking and travelling around the world. Sleep is secondary...there is no rest for the wicked! Bring it on baby!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone with a positive outlook on life with something to add to the moment. Have an edge, be confident, honest, passionate about life, beautiful (on the inside most importantly), loyal to your friends and be willing to break the rules from time to time. Be a dreamer, and most importantly be determined to make your dreams become reality. Don't let them fade into obscurity. Express YOURSELF, be extraordinary!!!...on that note: applications for good friends are always being accepted, first come, first served. Genuine people and large dogs need only apply.South Park Crank that Soulja Boy
