I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I live for summer. I dislike winter for the most part.Kayaking on the mighty Chippewa, BBQing with friends, fishing with my homies, sleeping under the stars, skating to the beer store, traveling around seeing concerts, or throwing parties up at my cottage. That is the life I live! Unless it is winter...then you won't see me because I'm hibernating, saving money, and dreaming of summer. I don't hate winter entirely, I do go snowboarding on the weekend.

I'd like to meet:


You Are a Peacemaker Soul
You strive to please others and compromise anyway you can.
War or conflict bothers you, and you would do anything to keep the peace.
You are a good mediator and a true negotiator.
Sometimes you do too much, trying so hard to make people happy.

While you keep the peace, you tend to be secretly judgmental.
You lose respect for people who don't like to both give and take.
On the flip side, you've got a great sense of humor and wit.
You're always diplomatic and able to give good advice.

Souls you are most compatible with: Warrior Soul, Hunter Soul and Visionary Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?Conflicted social deviants with good intentions and compassionate souls... who have no desire to impress me...yet challenge me......preferably with an alternative perspective different than my own. Positive people with good vibes.
