About Me

My name is Eric. I love having fun in most ways. There are few things that I refuse to do (ex: crack/cocaine) but over all I'm pretty much up for anything. I do try and stay in shape mainly by playing volleyball, biking, and hiking. When I get the chance (and weather permitting) I go camping, either backpacking or to my cabin in VA. Besides that I enjoy going up to Deep Creek lake as frequently as my schedule permits me to and get a little R&R, as I like to refer to it. I'm above all else, laid back. I'm a nice guy and I enjoy being with real people. I think fake people are too easy to find these days, and they tend to find you too easily. I also know that no one is perfect, so you can't expect to find a perfect person to hang out with, but I still try. That's the way life is, though. I'm a free thinker. Occasionally I think about things completely random to conversations I am in. And I don't know if I'm funny, but I'm definately goofy at least a quarter of my waking hours. That should tell you enough about me to start off with. Keep it real
