About Me

Im Erik, im 21, i go to the University of Nevada Reno and am majoring in journalism, finally moved out of the dorms and now call NW Reno home.
I am without a doubt a car nut as well as a part time blackack player, full time student and part time state employee. I also travel alot, Im in Las Vegas at least once a month it seems, which always provides for a ton of fun.
I love hockey, my favourite team is the Portland Winter Hawks of the Western Hockey League a team that I have watched since 1992. However in Reno the closest team is in Stockton which sucks though as I have yet to make it to a game, Id rather go to Vegas, my second, well maybe my third home..
I absolutly love to travel, I'm always in the car on the road going someplace new or exciting, Las Vegas is the usual destination as i seem to be there every month staying with friends. San Francisco is also a good place but then so is pretty much anyplace within driving distance, i just love to travel and go new places and meet new people.
I love cars as well, I presently driving a 03 Mitsubishi piece o crap but that shall hopefully change after March when I should have a vintage Porsche 914 which is a classic piece of German automotive work a mid engine air cooled car.

My Interests

driving, cars (particularly vintage cars, and faster ones too) I like sports as well such as hockey soccer and lacrosse
