About Me

I'm a Public Servant who grew up in Pittsburgh, served in the Army, lived in Mexico and Japan and recently earned my master's degree at George Mason University near Washington, DC. I've traveled quite a lot (about 30 different countries) and accomplished some cool things in life, but I also definitely like to unwind, chillax, or whatever else you want to call it. I'm into a wide variety of interests, so if you want to know more, you'll just have to step up and talk to me. I'm sometimes quiet, but can also be very social, so I'd be interested to meet new and exciting people. If that's you, don't be shy...give me a shout. Life is too short to wait!For more pics, see my yahoo profile...i'm ishmaelinjapan on yahoo messenger, and TurningJapanese on MSN. Feel free to say hi to me there, too.You are 100% Pittsburgh.

Great job! There's nooooo doubt about it. You're from Da Burgh. You deserve a reward, so go have an Ahrn City or two. And GO STILLERS!
