About Me


Simply not as simple
I just recently moved to Seattle from California. I could ramble on about how I miss the Sun and my friends and blah blah blah, but I'll spare you the details and just figure I moved away from everything I've ever known.
I'm in Seattle to pursue my dream of professionally competiting as a barista. So far, I'm doing damn good.
I am a music person. "Music is my mistress." -Duke Ellington
I am a cool person and if you think otherwise then get the hell off my page. I'm tired of worrying about what other people think, it's exhausting. I don't care if everyone out there hates me, there's someone out there that cares. I'm not going to censor myself anymore, so if you have a problem with something, tell me, and I'll try my best to not offend you. I'm okay with people looking at me and thinking they know who I am with just a glimpse of my body. Get to know me, you'll be surprised.
I'm okay with being afraid of what's to come of my life, who I will be, and what I will become.
I want to be a guy that you remember. The guy that you meet and can't get out of your head. I want you to look into my eyes and feel like you could never look away. I want you to see past my flaws, and see the beauty of that which is to be discovered. I want to find myself through your love. I want to look over in the middle of the night and see you, next to me. But most of all, I want to be able to love you the way you may someday.

My Interests

Coffee. I like coffee. French Press (or Clover) me a cup anytime and we're set for a date.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who wants to travel with me.

I find it necessary to meet the best in my field. But, to this I must say I only want to meet those passionate in my line of work, coffee. I want to meet people who are eager to teach me all that they know and equally meet the people eager to learn and for me to teach them. I want to meet more baristas who are willing to do all it takes to make themselves better and challenge old ideas.

Television:

CSI, House, Studio 60, Seinfeld,Comedy Central Presents. I like good shows...nothing special...if they're entertaining,....I probably like it...I guess that's the whole point of T.V....

Heroes:

My heroes are people that have influenced me in GREAT ways and helped me become who I am today.

My Best Friend, Courtney- She's helped me soo much through out the years. She makes my life "sooo complicated." But I still love her.

My Best Friend, Matt Colp- Love this guy too! He's shown me a lot with in the time I've known him. He's helped push me to the edge to help myself grow.

Ryan Dickerson- He showed the world exactly how to live, be a better person, and always help others. He will always hold a spot in my heart. RIP Ryan.
