About Me

Creative. Occasionally zany. Usually charming. And tall. You know that guy, who is the guy behind the guy, behind the guy? That's not me. I'm behind him, yet still visible because I'm 6'4". I'm a mix of zaniness, romanticism and creativity. In short, Dick Cheney. That was a joke. I meant Don Rumsfeld. Okay, and if you're not laughing at all, or you think those two guys really possess those qualities we have as much in common with each other as we do a toaster oven. And if you're going, "Hey, I am SO like a toaster oven!" I have a number of someone you should call.Tremendous upside besides the sense of humor and the green eyes and full head of hair -- I read and communicate pretty directly. Really what you see with me is what you get. I'm confident in who I am and what I have to offer, yet I'm curious and like seeking out new things to try when I'm not working. I am also a romantic, and believe that the effort you put into things is generally what you'll receive out of them, unless you're putting change in a parking meter. Still not a fair swap no matter what people tell you.As for activities I enjoy competing in all sports (mostly football, softball & soccer). Also up for hikes, bikes, rollerblading, skiing and a whole array of things. I've even participated in things my mom labels 'crazy' (I skydived and repelled off a bridge - not at the same time of course).

THE BACHELOR CHANGES HIS MIND - SHOCKING? REALLY?

So dramatic.  Just so much the way love is supposed to be.  So fairy tale like, with a twist.  Because today's love isn't supposed to be the mutual respect and attraction for a significant other, but ...
