About Me

I'm from Florida and am now in the Army and currently stationed in Germany. I've been here for a little over a year now so it's given me the chance to broaden my interests and travels. Ontop of loving my normal warm weather activities like scuba diving, camping, hiking, football, basketball, white water rafting and jogging, I now have fallen in love with snowboarding. My new goal is to scuba dive in every major ocean and sea in the world. I've already got the Caribbean, Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and the Mediterranean under my belt. =)

My Interests

Anything outdoors. I love being at the beach, scuba diving, swimming, jogging, surfing, white water rafting, camping, hiking (I've done over 90 miles of the appalachian trail), football, basketball, bowling is fun but I'll admit I'm horrible, I love to dance, snowboard, make giant snowmen at 2am! There's so much more I want to do. I want to sky dive, kite surf, get better at wind surfing (I've done it once and to be honest, I suck), scuba dive in every ocean and sea in the world, learn to mountain climb and go spelunkering. I'm a big movie fan. I love comedies, horror, action, suspense, romantic comedies and documentaries. I can't wait to leave the barracks so I can have a dog and a ferret.
I thank Steve for this game.

I'd like to meet:

I do believe there are still some "nice guys" left so that would definitely pique my interest.Someone with a good sense of humor, a genuinely good heart, I have a passion for life and all exciting things in it so someone who I can share that with would be amazing.

Music:

I have a really wide range of musical interests. I've never had a favorite group before, but after listening to more and more Nickleback, I'll venture to say I like them best at the moment. I also enjoy listening to country, hip hop, celtic dance and bagpipes, techno, Moby and Enya. The only music I don't like really is jazz, blues and bluegrass.

Movies:

Way too many good movies to list even 1/4 of them. You have to love horror films. There's something about being scared that appeals to all of us on a more primal level. Comedies are just fun; romantic comedies are good for a nice sappy laugh; suspense movies just keep me guessing; action movies are good when you're in the mood to see something blow up.

Television:

I don't really watch tv, but when I do, I enjoy watching Survivor and CSI.

Books:

I really enjoy reading non fiction books. "Between a Rock and a Hard Place" was an amazing book. I'm waiting now for a fiction book entitled "Motion" which was written by my friend Kurt and who doesn't love the DaVinci Code?

Heroes:

When I was little and wanted to be the first woman in the NBA, Michael Jordan was of course a hero of mine. As I got older, my parents moved into the forefront.
