About Me

Jack of All Trades, Master of SomeJack of All Trades, Master of Some.

..[if !supportEmptyParas] ..[endif]

As hobbies lately photography, Books, Books, Books, mountain biking and organizing pub-crawls with my friends. http://www.pubcrawl.us Also starting to travel more, recently gone or going to: Cleveland, Arkansas, Washington DC, Connecticut and this summer going to Europe with friends, right now it's a split between Iceland and Prague.

Very outgoing, not afraid of public speaking or embarrassment. I'm the person who keeps quiet then surprises everyone when I'm the wild one.

I'm a person that the small things in life do not phase me, I realize they can be important, but life is short. Still catching up in life from being deployed as a Bay watch Military Policeman (Fort Story, VA Beach) then going to wonderful Baghdad Iraq, (Lots of sand no Beach). So everything in western PA is new to me again. There is a lot to be said for running water and electricity. Going though a transition, just moved from the Mexican War Streets in Pittsburgh to West Aliquippa to not have to deal with traffic and rush hour anymore. Miss the city, not the traffic and the "Ya can't get here from dare" syndrome. But having fun regardless.

Cheers Frank

My Interests

As hobbies lately photography, mountain biking and organizing pubcrawls with my friends. http://www.pubcrawl.us Also cooking with Lasagna, Filet Mignon, and Alaskan King Crab as my specialties. Every once in a blue moon I attempt sushi and everyone who has tried it loved it.Right now my main interest is my Pup CC who I found on Country Club Road in Beaver County. He was 8 lbs at the time and he is now 35 lbs and growing like a weed (he's about 5 months old now). I think CC is American Bulldog which means he'll be between 70 and 120 lbs. Smart puppy and I'm his Chew toy. Very well behaved other than that and he trains well. Now for a pic of him now ;-)

I'd like to meet:

Not actually actively searching for anyone, but always looking for a passionate girl, where there is an glint in the eye and some electricity in the soul. Since I'm a person who is comfortable in his own skin, I'm looking for girl who is comfortable in her own skin but a lil bit of a edge and likes bald men because that what I am... Also starting to travel more so would like to have a little bit more than a travel buddy. Planning to go to Europe early summer with friends. Take a look at my pics for the passion I am looking for...

Music:

Anything by The Offspring, Ramones, or the Stones, also addicted to Irish Music and Reggae. Also love Trans-Siberian Orchestra. And go to alot of concerts during the summer to the Post Gazette Ampetheatre. Local Music: The Clarks, Rusted Root, Foxy Deathbox, Mojo Filter and Anti-Flag. Also,(I know this sounds cheesy) by I do a mean "Man of Constant Sorrow" for Karaoke.

Movies:

The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Clockwork Orange, Lord of the Rings, Pink Floyd the Wall and Sin City. I'm very lucky, I have a friend who gets me previews of movies about every two to three weeks. I'm a person who enjoys a cheesy movie for it being cheesy. Although I like the intense movies the best... an adrenaline rush is a good thing.

Television:

I really don't do television, I have a life...

Books:

Dune by Frank Herbert, BONE and CEREBUS (I got addicted to them as comics and now they're graphic novels). Anything by Heinlein, Terry Pratchett, Larry Niven, or Wodehouse. Also a bit of a newshound, keeping up with the papers, a least I'm not making the news anymore. Currently working to set up a small used bookstore/DVD/Computer game shop in West Aliquippa. I'm zoned commercial but to get it right it takes time and money which I have both, just got to keep a focus. It won't make me a millionare but it will bring in extra cash which is always nice. I pretty much read anything although mainly focus on Science Fiction, Fantasy or computers.

Heroes:

Buckminster Fuller, David Brin, Robert Heinlein, Larry Niven, Colin Powell and President Clinton. And most of all my father, Hank for surviving heart surgery and being my friend.
