Vacation is fun!

About Me

I am a 24 and live in Reno NV, which is just a few minuets from Lake Tahoe. I just graduated from college last year with a B.S in Marketing and minored in Economics. College has been a great learning experience for me and a place I truly found myself. I am working for Tyco Valves & Controls as a Product Specialist. I hope to move into a markeing role with the company in the near future. I just recently got engaged to the love of my life. Julie and I have been dating over 3 years and will pick a date soon. True love is not just about attraciveness but about finding that person that you can share everything with. One who you can laugh with, cry with and just watch the wind go by.Some of my hobbies include: hanging out with friends, laughing, hiking, football, wakeboarding, snowboarding, snowmobilling, playing music (bass, guitar & piano), shooting & hunting, seeing the wilderness & just being outside. I also love trucks and cars and riding my motorcycle. I like to stay busy and I hate just sitting around an doing nothing.

My Interests

Fun exciting things that make me realize the Sublime! Music is my release, I was involved with the Music Department at UNR and the Univeristy of Arizona while in college where I played the trumpet and bass. My true love for music is playing at Church.

I'd like to meet:

Dean Smith, Joe Gibbs, God

Music:

UM where do I start, I like all types of music. To me music is an expression of your life, different Genres and songs convey the numerous feelings we have in life. A few of my favorties are Worship, Country, Hip-Hop,Rock & Alternative.

Movies:

Actions movies are the best and I would have to say that TOP GUN and Home Along are my favorite movies! I don't mind some chick flicks too, as long as they aren't tooo muuushy.

Television:

Sports Center, The A-TEAM, The Duke's of Hazzard, anything on the History channel, The U.N.I.T and NCIS.

Books:

What are these?? Does Motor Trend, Car & Driver, or Automotive Week count?? I am not much of a reader, but I would have to say that one day I would like to read all of the bible. Even though it was written so long ago, it is applicable to all aspects of life.

Heroes:

I have two heroes, the first would have to be my dad. He has been through a lot in his life and he has acomplished so much. I am very proud of him, and hope that I can be at least half the man he is!! My second hero is my Mother. She is a tough lady, and she is so inspiring. Watching her battle breast cancer and overcome it was incredible. She's deffinately a fighter.
