About Me

Grew up in New Jersey and after 24 years had a strong desire to get out...so I decided to move to California. I love the outdoors, travelling, going to the city, staying active, exploring. There's so much to see and do out there and only so much time. An overwhelming trait of mine is that I love the outdoors...I think it's something that stuck with me that my father introduced me to. I can't get enough of activities such as camping, fishing, backpacking, surfing, hiking, motocross, snowboarding, soccer, basketball, volleyball, wakeboarding and tennis. Another part of me likes going to the city, checking out clubs, restaurants, playing some pool, darts, bowling, etc, etc....basically just experiencing new places, activities, different people. I've often been called a mello, laid back person which comes as a surprise to me but enough people have said that so there must be something to it. I think the intense aspect of my personality comes out during sports....it can get very entertaining. I think it's important to be passionate about things you enjoy doing. I also have a creative side which when time permits I'll try to develop more. Artistic interests are varied but mainly pertain to photography and painting (oil/pastel).

My Interests

For the most part anything outdoors...camping, fishing, hiking, kayaking, snowboarding, motocross, surfing, soccer, basketball, volleyball, swimming, mountain biking And then there's some indoor things....like going to check out new places to eat, going to the movies, taking a drive up to Napa/Sonoma, playing pool or just staying in and doing absolutely nothing other than watching TV or reading a good book.
