About Me

Wow, who am I? Well I know... but how do I tell all of you? Well the short version is that Iâ€™m a 30 something guy from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and I work for the best university in the area!. Iâ€™ve accomplished all my wildest career goals, so now I can dream new dreams and work on building a new life and a new legacy. Iâ€™m an open book. What I want most out of life is a family. I'm a single guy and I don't have kids. I'd love to be able to edit that line in a few years.What am I like, in person? I'm very mild mannered and silly as they get. I'm unpretentious about my life. I am a little geeky (into a bit of technology), a little nerdy (well read and studied), a little goofy (OK, I still laugh every time I see "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective"), a little shy (good reason I'm still single), a little bold (do you have a hard time speaking in front of a group? I don't), and very simple. I don't have an agenda. I'm not a complicated guy. If you know me well, I'm predictable, and I don't mind that. I like my friends knowing who I am and what I stand for.I'm a city boy. I'm not all sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll, though. I love rock'n'roll, can't understand why anyone would be into drugs, and if you don't like sex, you just must not be doing it right. *laughs* I'm not much of a rugged country boy. I'm not a hunter, I can't fix a '60 Chevy truck, and I can only take about two consecutive country songs at a time. I can, however, design your business card, drink a beer with you, fix your plumbing, get lost in deep discussion about the offensive line of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and bake you a cake that'll make you call your mother. I'm a tree hugger. Of all nine planets, this one is my favorite. *grins and laughs*I grew up in Pittsburgh and I love my hometown to shreds. I'll talk about how cool Pittsburgh is, constantly, if you don't shut me up. Pittsburgh has all the modern conveniences of living in a big city, with all the personality and friendliness of living in a small town. You pull out of a parking garage under a sky-scraper, drive for 20 minutes, look out your window, and see cows.Whoever you are, thank you for reading my profile. I hope life is being sweet to you... drop me a line, please. :-)
