I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I try to see the world in a positive light and try to be a "glass half full" kind of person. I have several close friends, some I've known for a short while, some I've known for most of my life, some I've known for several years. I care about my good friends very much, and just as I would for my son, I'd lay my life down for them. I am a honest person and expect the same from others.I work in broadband sales and love my job, it's probably the best job I've ever had.I like music, going to the movies, hiking, biking, going to church. I like talking with good friends and talking with and making new friends. I'm living a more healthy lifestyle now days and I am starting to see positive results. I love to take my soon to be 8 year old son fishing and spending time with him.Anything else you want to know about me, feel free to ask.

My Interests

Spending time with my son and my friends. Fitness, I am getting healthy and working out, will also be taking up skiing again, (disslocated my shoulder last time). I like biking, hiking and I am very interested in technology, (I am in Broadband Sales afterall). I like music and talk radio.

I'd like to meet:

Just cool likeminded people for friends. A special someone? A best friend, a woman I can talk to anytime and tell anything to. Someone who feels comfortable enough with me to tell me anything. Someone to share LIFE with, in all it's ups and downs, good times and bad, My Best Friend, Will I ever find you? Have I already and just don't know it? Time will tell, and I'm not going to worry about it. I'll just be a good man and dad for my son, and when I know, I'll know, and so will she........story continues......I'm wondering now if I've met her. (I think I have)...
