Reacting, living, and surviving life, pura vida!

About Me

Let's start off with what's important in life....surfing. 20+ websites dedicated to weather forecasts, swell computer models, storm tracking, surf reports, and surfcams. Even though I surf NJ year 'round, I've now decided to spend extensive time in Puerto Rico during our winter months where the water is warm and the surf is plentiful. I surf up and down Monmouth county and parts of Ocean. My favorite breaks are in Spring Lake. And when it's cold out and there's no surf, there's snowboarding. From here on out, it's one or two warm up days on the East coast and then a week long trip out West or to Europe. Austria, one of the greatest experiences in my life. I've also boarded the bowls of Whistler, BC and blazed down the steep terrain in Angel Fire, NM. Just picture yourself climbing up a mountainside and speeding through waist-deep powder....wooohooo! Other activities include weight training at the gym and running on the boardwalk when it's nice out. I also play soccer and basketball with some guys at work. As you can see I'm no couch potato, although I will admit that I have my lazy days. I like happy hours and going out on weekends. I also like to go to concerts, especially in the summer time. I like all kinds of music including classic rock, punk, alternative, metal, industrial, techno, 80's, and old school rap that are all on my ipod. When there's time for tv, I watch the Devils and the Giants. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you how I fund all this fun. I am a Materials Engineer working for uncle sam.
