Hi there and welcome to my little corner on MySpace. My name is Chris. I am a proud Texan and for most of my life I lived the Dallas/Fort Worth area, most recently in Mansfield. In March of this year I accepted a promotion that involved my relocation to the New York City area. It is a good thing that I have always embraced change, because it has certainly been that – professionally but especially personally. I just purchased a new home in the Schooleys Mountain/Long Valley area of Northern New Jersey near Washington Township. I have a lot of different interests and past times, and no matter what, I will always be a Texan and a Dallas Cowboys fan.
Some say that I am opinionated, as if that is a bad thing. I can come off aggressive in business but I am actually pretty sensitive and shy, and have a hard time accepting a compliment. I have an open mind and tend to think things through beyond the surface. I challenge conformity, and strive to understand the things that make people different. I am poised in professional situations and am pretty successful at what I do. I communicate my thoughts very well when I am in a business environment or when I am angry about something, but I often have trouble trying to articulate things when I am happy. I am single now, but I hope that some day I won't be.
The people I love are the most important things in my life. My loyalty is honest and true and there is not much that I would not do for a true friend. I believe that sunrises and sunsets are little gifts we get each day. I care more about life experiences than awards. Sushi grosses me out and Autumn is my favorite season. Then Spring. I am a competitive Capricorn, but that means nothing to me. I wear contact lenses because I am too much of a wimp to have laser surgery. I am a multi-tasking expert and I loved to play with Legos when I was a kid.
I don’t thing war is ever the right answer, and I think I could do a better job in public office than most of the people there. I think it would be cool to know sign language. I hate spiders, but I hate even worse letting someone down. I am a damn good southern cook and I love to cook for others. I like take more pleasure watching the reaction to a gift I give that someone watching my reaction to a gift they give to me. I make people laugh and try to make them feel good about themselves.
The best part of my job is helping others be better at what they do and I am good at seeing potential in people that they don’t see in themselves. I like to coach, and I will always embrace being coached. I leave a good tip and I like the same songs for a long time. I love storms and I am obsessed with the weather. I hate scales but I love the sea. What I lack in willpower I make up for in determination.
Perhaps the most important thing to know about me is that I reject the notion that, in order to “be somebody†in this society you have to have money, or drive a fancy new car, or have a certain body type, or believe in a certain God, or go to a certain church, or vote in a certain way, or wear designer clothing, or possess an ivy league piece of paper, or be of a certain race or sexual preference, or come from a certain side of the tracks. A person’s honesty, integrity, and humanity always their trump social status in my book.
Enough philosophical blah blah.....
MY WORK:
When I was a kid growing up I was sure I would be a cop my entire life. After studying both marketing and criminal justice in college, and after period of time in law enforcement, a new future opened up to me in real estate. I am now in my 18th year in residential real estate with the nation's largest real estate brokerage company, and I oversee the marketing team that services the entire Eastern Seaboard.
FOR FUN:
You can already see that I like anything automotive related. I have a limited edition Dodge Charger SRT-8 that I take autocrossing a few weekend's a year. It has a few mods, and except for race weekends or an occassional weekend drive on a sunny day, it stays inside and covered. Hopefully I will find the time to get more involved in the autocross groups here in the Northeast. As mentioned, I am also a huge Dallas Cowboy fan, even back during the hard times, and I also enjoy computer work as well. I own a weekend lake retreat at Lake Whitney, Texas so I always have a place to "come home" to in the Lone State State.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy my page.
