I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


I am currently working for a company called Avanade. It is pretty much a IT consultant position. So far I have been doing nothing but traveling. I like it. Its a little different, but I like it. This is a big culture shock for me as it is my first job as a civilian AFTER the Marine Corps. Things work a lot differently. lol.
I recently became engaged to the most beautiful woman alive. We have our wedding date set at November 15th, 2008.
To my Marine friends, if you are ever around Texas, give me a holler. I will always be down for some conversation over some BBQ and a few beers. Hoorah and Semper Fi.
I am an inactive ready reserve Marine. I am 5'7'' and weigh about 165 pounds. My ethnicity is very, very mixed up. From my mom I have German, Polish, Scottish, and Irish. So from my dad I have Hawaiian, Filipino, Spanish, and Chinese. I like to stay physically active and in shape. I wouldnt mind being a hard-body, but lack the discipline to obtain it. I consider myself to have an average build. My personality is definitely an outgoing one. I have the best time in boring situations. I can make anything funny and interesting. I have an off-beat sense of humor. It is pretty much borderline retarded...but not TOO bad. Its bearable...sometimes.

My Interests

Sports, Mountain Biking, Driving my car like a crazy-man, I definitely have an eye for taking good scenery pictures...I'm good. You've gotta ask to see them though, Lazy Sundays, Poker, Blackjack, Offroading, Weight Lifting, Fishing, Hunting, Drinking, and just flat out having a damn good time.

I'd like to meet:


Anyone that shares similar interests and views as I do. People who I knew from different Duty Stations in the Marine Corps. People I knew from High School. As long as you have a positive attitude about things. Oh yeah, super hot women. Just kidding. I have already found her. I am loved by the best. So...sorry ladies.
A woman who knows what she wants. A woman that has respect for herself and who is emotionally strong and stable. A woman who knows how to take care of herself and stay in shape. A woman who isn't afraid to get a little dirty because she is too pampered and prissy but at the same time who knows how to act like a lady. There is a happy medium in there somewhere. Thankfully, I have found that woman. She makes me all that I am. She is my reason for breathing and living. She makes my every day worthwhile. She is Christi Schlenker, the Queen of my heart. She is my world and my everything. I love you babe. Thank you for everything that you are. Thank you for being you.
Thanks to my mom I have the MOST respect for women. Thats just how I was raised. You know...the basics. You dont ever hit a woman, dont treat them like shit, and if it's your woman you had better try to re-win her love everyday as if it were the first. Thats my philosophy. That also doesnt mean that I am "whipped", because I will not hesitate to prove you otherwise. I have values, thats all. Come on people.

Music:

I have a very unrestricted taste in music. I dont like to be like everyone else and say that, "I like a little bit of everything." However, that is what it comes down to. I respect the different forms(genres) of art(music).

Movies:

I like ALMOST every movie out there. Basically any movie with a good storyline and plot. I lean toward action, comedy, horror, and a very select few love movies. One off of the top of my head is Jerry Maguire, but thats neither here nor there. Anyway, a few that I like that people have NO IDEA why I like them are: Kung Pow, Kung Fu Hustle, Zoolander, and many more.

Television:

My lady and I love to do The Office Marathons.

Books:

The latest one was Force Recon Diary, 1979. But I was about 9 chapters into it in Iraq and someone stole it. So, that kind of sucked. Right now I am a quarter of the way through Flints Law. And currently I left it in Austin, so I am not reading anything right now.

Heroes:

My Grandpa, My Dad(Alfred), Lewis "Chesty" Puller, John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, George Strait, and Christian Bale........and in that order.
