With adversity comes challenges in life!

About Me

A wise man once told me that life without challenges or adversity is dull! I like to think that my dad had something going there, right? Anyway, a little about myself…I just a typical, ordinary guy trying to stay one step ahead of life (and not the bill collectors, LOL!). I try to treat people with the same respect that I expect from them…sometimes that a little hard to do but we are all here together so might as well make it easier for everyone. My cousin suggested I try this MySpace out and see what can be seen. A little scary sometimes with all that is featured on the news about this site but so far, it’s fun. I’m a physician’s assistant in L.A. County although I’ll still never want to live there...thank the Lord for Orange County! Tons of relatives still in Hawaii and the SF Bay Area...amazing how much I miss them.Did some time in Uncle Sam's green machine after high school and stayed for a bit longer while at UofA and USC. Saw all those "exotic" locals the brochures talked about...as long as it had to do with a lot of sand or mountains! Finally ended my contract about a year ago.Just here to meet some cool people and get an idea of what else is out there. Drop me a line anytime…stay cool and “…live like you were dying!” Aloha!..

My Interests

Biking, running (yes, I'm one of those weird ones that run for pleasure!), swimming, scuba, a good meal with someone interesting, good times with family and friends...typical stuff that most people like to do. Have to try underwater basketweaving someday!

I'd like to meet:

One of these days I'll figure out how to lay this kind of stuff out but the test was interesting...
