About Me

What can I say about me? Well, for starters, I am a Christian. As far as defining myself as something, I think that is the best description I can give. Guys tend to define themselves by their career, but I don't. I am a goal oriented person. Some of my best characteristics are that I am a hard worker, loyal, determined and caring. I am always looking for things I can improve. I struggle to be satisfied with what is, because I can see the way things could be and strive to get to that place. Other then that, I finally made the switch from working for others to working for myself. I am now, " Building Solutions " For now I am just a contractor, but within two years I want to start building custom homes.

My Interests

I am an outdoors guy. I love to camp and fish. I love to ride my four wheeler, and I want to get a wave runner. In the winter I love to ski. I enjoy just hanging out with my cousins, and friends. I also love watching movies, and listening to music. I want to travel, go sky diving, and do some heli-skiing.

I'd like to meet:

I am up to talking to just about anyone.

Music:

I love music. I can enjoy almost any genre. Switchfoot, Anberlin, Jack Johnson, Go Jimmy Go, Plain White T's, 3 doors down, green day, Casting Crowns, Steven Curtis Chapman, Micheal W. Smith, Mercy Me, The Fray, Dashboard Confessional, Goo Goo Dolls, Lifehouse, POD, Coldplay, Thousand Foot Crutch, Muse, Skillet.... and many many more

Movies:

I am a comedy man but I love good action movies too. I am even guilty of enjoying the occasional chick flick as long as it makes me laugh.

Television:

I don't watch too much tv, except football.

Books:

I need to read more. I am not in school, but I think that sucessful people never stop learning. If I pick up a Frank Peretti book, I can't put it down. Most of the time I read books such as "Rich Dad Poor Dad", by Robert Kiyosaki I recently finished "How To Win Friends and Influence People" "Think and grow rich" "Mastery" and "Leadership and Self Deception" I would highly recommend all of them.

Heroes:

My parents. They have always been there for me. I used to take them for granted but now I know that what I have is very special, and I love them more then I can say.
