About Me

Hey! My name is Dave. I'm 30 and I live in Ventura County, Cali. I'm a Business Systems Analyst for Health Net in Woodland Hills. I've been known to get greasy from wrenching on my cars as well as my friend's cars, and I enjoy working on computers, shooting pool, hanging out with friends, going to Vegas, hitting up car shows/cruise nights in Burbank and Northridge, playing some Texas Hold 'Em (mostly online on PokerStars.com, pretty much anything that seems like fun! I'm a really laid back and easy going guy. I like to go out and have fun or even just stay home and watch a movie or play a game. I even traveled out of the country for my first time in 2005 when I visited the Philippines for 2 weeks. (For pleasure, not military or anything!) I also took a second trip to the Philippines in November 2006.
I guess you can say that I'm not your 'typical guy'. I don't fit that profile. I am honest and sincere. When I say I am going to do something, I follow through with it and keep my word. I don't make promises that I cannot keep. People always tell me how easy it is for them to talk to me about ANYTHING even though we may not have known eachother for long.
