Cycling,hiking,backpacking,rock climbing,mountaineering,sailing, kayaking, running,travel, music, checking out some new and fun bars and dives, bad jokes, good food and new beer among other things!
From top to bottom, Climbers on the Muir snowfield,"Never a bad time to ride"(Capital Forest,Oly), Buffalo in Theodore Roosevelt Nat. Park,N.D. and sailing on the Sound!
Anyone who is laid back and easy going. I find I have the most fun with people who don't take themselves or others to seriously. Anyone who is interested in the outdoors and doesn't mind being a bit goofy at times. Meeting the right girl would be an added bonus!

Anyone who inspires me to be the person I am!
