You only get one chance at life so take some chances and see what it brings you. I'm a very out-going guy who loves to live every moment to its fullest. If there’s something you want to do, then do it. If there’s someone you want to ask out, then ASK them. The only disappointment in life is in the things we don’t even try. Please don’t be a cowardly lion with me around. I’d have to take that a challenge to get you out of your shell. I've often been classified as an extrovert who loves to make people laugh. I’m witty and enjoy engaging conversations, even healthy debate at times. Of course, part of being a good conversationalist is knowing when to listen as well. It’s never "all about me". I want to know what the other parties in the conversation are thinking as well. My photos include pictures of my tattoos. The tribal is on the inside of my right arm near my wrist. The arm band and stylized symbol are my upper right arm. I also have a celtic/tribal on my back which I hope to share photos of soon. When it comes to work (and sometimes even when it comes to play) I believe that if I can't do something well, either I should get better at it or do something different. I work hard and play hard. I give my all in everything and expect the same from those around me. I'm a benefits administrator for a company who handles HR outsourcing. It's an 8-5 job but can sometimes entail overtime. I stay till my work is complete. Altogether, I enjoy my job. Working with benefits is satisfying and allows me to help others. I'm an Irish/German mixture, as you can tell when I grow my goatee. The red actually shows up in it quite a bit. Normally though, I just come off as a mutt. Ethnicity has never been a major issue for me and honestly matters little in my expectations. I was raised Baptist but, once I hit college, I starting looking for something that better suited my own personal beliefs. I haven't exactly found it yet. I believe that I do not have the right to tell anyone that their belief system is wrong. I went to Appalachian and double majored in biology and chemistry. I didn't complete my studies there due to an illness in my family but went to the National Business College near my home to get a degree. College was one of the best times of my life. I love good food. I'm a regular at a local French bistro, Par Three. I also regularly go for coffee. For a nice spot to just sit around and chat at odd hours, I'll head over to Jan's House (my favorite 24 hour diner). I also adore the Melting Pot. I also love pets. My apartment doesn't allow them but hopefully that will change soon! ..
