I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

my life has consisted of many major phases in which i have voraciously pursued new interests and opportunities as they present and uncover themselves. finding a balance between passion and obsession in these areas has presented a constant struggle. the addition and attrition of interests have also presented quite a challenge.former and current interests soccer - wrestling - guitar - emceeing - djing/turntablism - b-boying - graffiti - graphic design - fine art - industrial designmy primary focus over the past 8 years has been industrial design (mainly the design of consumer products). i am also trying to dedicate some of my freetime back into b-boying.through it all i have had my wife. we coincidentally started dating about a month after i got my turntables (summer 1997). she's been there through so much to keep me grounded and balanced and for that i am very grateful.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

-more people like the people i currently call friends-some new people unlike anyone i currently know
