About Me


My name is Benjamin. My 3 greatest passions/things I live for are: God, the people I love, and music. Born in San Diego, but I grew up in Orange County CA. I am a deep thinker. My college major is Psychology. I want to be a counselor for youth. I don't claim to be perfect. I have flaws (like everyone). I sometimes get accused of being perfect. Even though this Bio is about me I don't like to talk about myself very much. However, I want people to know who I am. I try to let people in on my life and what I am going through. Sometimes I go from fighting pride, to fighting low self-esteem. People say that I am funny. I don't feel very smart, but I think I am very intelligent. I am different, caring, loving, affectionate, deep, simple, passionate, ect. Many people look up to me because I generally know what I want, what to do, and where to go. People follow my example, so its my responsibility to lead them in the right direction by the way that I live. I love serving others. I am actively involved in ministry. I love people. If I love you then I will find many ways of telling you. I love doing things for people without having reason. It makes me so happy and brings me sooooo much joy to bless people. I love spending quality time with people. I try to be honest with everyone because I have nothing personal to hide. Yes..... I have things in the past that I regret. However, they keep me humble (and thats a good thing). I love to travel and enjoy God's beautiful creation. I have been to many countries while doing missionary work including: Mexico (alot), Honduras, the Philippines, Brazil, Austrailia, Taiwan (twice), China (twice), and Malaysia. I want to live in China someday.If you want to be my friend...... send me a message! :) help me get to know you... ..

My Interests

I love God...and spending time with Him, people, music, hanging out with friends, talking with people about deep things, playing guitar, signing, experiencing life, interaction, thinking, understanding, creating, observing, psychology, deep movies, art, drawing, photography, chess, martial-arts, travel, beauty, experiencing new places and new things. I love to spend time alone or alone with someone in beautiful places. I like to lay on my roof and stare at the stars cause it helps me feel loved....................................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ .............Sensing-- touching, tasting, smelling, seeing, hearing. Food, cooking, tea (iced or hot), nighttime, concerts, campfires, shivering under a blanket, watching my breath in the cold, the beach, cool breazes, cute things, swimming, tubing, kayaking, skipping, dancing when I'm alone, hanging from trees, treehouses, performing magic tricks, paintball, flying my kite, taking control of my dreams.

I'd like to meet:


I'll meet people with great minds. People who are willing to question what they believe. People with questions to bring...and songs to sing.

I've already met an amazing girl named Lori :) ...Sorry ladies... actually I'm not sorry at all :)
