About Me

Just a guy. I tend to be highly analytical, critical, cynical, and brutally honest. I moved to Reno in August of '06. Tend to be pretty independent and a bit of a loner . . .
I've lived in Ohio, New York, Illinois, Missouri, Montana, and now Nevada.
Who knows what life will bring next?

My Interests

snowboarding, soccer, hiking, technology, education, pool

I'd like to meet:

The girl next door . . . with a twist . . .

Music:

Goldfinger, Less than Jake, Reel Big Fish, Green Day, Operation Ivy

Movies:

Princess Bride, Clerks, Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Television:

Almost all the TV I watch is seasons on DVD. Some examples:

    Simpsons Futurama Undeclared the Office (both the BBC and the US version)

Books:

I tend to like authors over books:

    Ayn Rand Chuck Palahniuk J.D. Salinger Orson Scott Card

I'm sure there are others I'm omitting . . .
