If you're not living on the edge, you're not living!

About Me

The most important thing you need to know about me is this - I'm not a psychopath! Daaang, there are some crazy a$$ people in this world... lots of them. Where do they come from?! Other than that - just ask me about me. ;)I love this mountain!

I'm completely addicted to surfing now!

My Interests

Did I mention I'm a ski bum?I have all kinds of interests. Most of them revolve around getting me my adrenaline fix, but some are a little more mundane. My two primary hobbies are motorcycle racing / riding and skiing. That way I have something to focus on the summer and something else to keep me out of trouble in the winter. Unfortunately, those are probably two of the most expensive hobbies you could choose. But you only live once I guess, so what the heck. As for the skiing, I volunteer for the Ski Patrol at Mt. Hood. I think it's important to give something back to society and I get to have fun at the same time. So it's a win / win. (Hey, the free skiing isn't so bad either!)Other than that, I love the outdoors. White water rafting and wakeboarding are things that I manage to do every summer. Camping, rock climbing, etc - it's all great, but I don't really get that much time to do it. I used to play the drums and was in a band here and there, but I haven't played in a loooong time. Too bad really.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet some new an interesting people - honest people with a good head on their shoulders... someone who knows how to have a good time / lets loose occasionally but doesn't feel the need to party every night of the week. It would be great to meet people with interesting (and positive) life stories, but hey - mine isn't really THAT interesting I guess, so whatever.

Music:

I like all kinds of music, depending on my mood. I don't really care for country music but there's a time and place for everything I guess.

Movies:

I think movies should be entertaining. So I am perfectly OK with most of the mindless garbage out there that some folks like to complain about. OK, I know it's an action flick with the same ol' story line and gratuitous sex scene, but so what. It's 2 hours that I can go get lost and just relax. That being said, there's soooo many recent movies I haven't scene... OK, stupid pun.

Television:

Discovery channel rocks! I don't watch too much TV actually. I usually catch part of Leno and I love CSI, but I'm never really around to veg out in front of the tube.... even so, I need to get HD hooked up.

Books:


Myspace Tracker

Heroes:

My parents... I'm very fortunate for everything they've done for me in my life!
