About Me

grew up in rural indiana county, pa. that does make me a redneck at heart, but i managed to escape to PSU (not that central pa is much more progressive outside of the university). took 6-1/2 years to finish, but i gots my diploma- bachelors in landscape arch. lived in chester county (Philly area) for three years (hated it), state college (PSU) for two (love it-miss it), and now have relocated to Great Barrington, Mass. this has proven to be a challenge and a relief at once. will root for any pittsburgh team until they pry the empty lager bottle out of my cold, dead fingers (as soon as i'm off probation).. same goes for the nittany lions. work takes up a lot of my day, but live music and beer take up most of my nights. camping, climbing, fishing and festivals fill my weekends.

My Interests

good music, good friends, good beer, hiking, fishing, climbing, camping, pool, poker, football parties, and people that aren't idiots.

I'd like to meet:

i will, once again, change my mind, because i don't think i should be hatin'. i've just been a bit bitter lately b/c of certain people and circumstances. i realize that none of them are out of my control.. so i'd like to meet anyone that will move me, both good and bad, because i'll learn from ya regardless. i still don't really want to meet anymore idiots, as my idiot-bank is plenty full. but i'll cross your bridge when i get to you.i do want to meet a nice, classy, intelligent young lady that has the same interests, but also likes to let her hair down once in awhile, and is not satisfied with mediocrity.. just don't be an idiot!
