About Me

MyGen Profile Generator About me? I'd have to start by saying that I love traveling. I enjoy experiencing different cultures but must admit that I've taken a special liking to the Asian culture in general, particularly, Chinese. Nonetheless, I do have an appreciation for other cultures throughout the globe as I often take the time to discover countries throughout Africa, Asia, S. America and Europe...the world is my neighborhood. Currently, there are several things that consume my personal time. In addition to spending a lot of time working on the continuous development of a business venture that my brother and I started two years ago specializing in the design and personal customization of pool cues. , I'm also trying to put together a game plan for quenching my interest in foreign affairs. I also have a hunger for languages as I'm moderately fluent in both Chinese(Mandarin), & Spanish and I'm currently studying both Thai and Korean. I'm a thrill seeker... skydiving, cliff diving, skiing, jet skiing, riding my motorcycle, scuba diving, hang gliding, horseback riding, etc.. all excite me. When I'm not out traveling and seeing the world or being a thrill seeker, I enjoy going to the gym, the movies, playing pool, eating out, hanging out with friends or just kicking back at home watching some TV. Yet and still, as adventurous and outgoing as I am, I'm still a very humble and down-to-earth kinda guy. ..
