About Me

I grew up in a small town in Southern Utah. I have been in Salt Lake for about 10 years. I own a CD and DVD manufacturing company that is about 3 years old but growing more and more every day. Between work and returning to school to finish my degree my free time is not as much as I would like to be, although I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully my hard work will pay off.
I love music and like to go and check out a lot of local bands. I also have been doing a lot of photography as a hobby when I get the chance and I have been writing for several years now.

I am very into MMA (mixed martial arts) and spend a lot of my time training in jiu-jitsu and muay thai kickboxing. I have been working improving my life and the quality of it over the last few years. Even though I have a ways to go I am feeling like I am on the downhill slope

CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!

I'd like to meet:

I want to meet someone honest. I have found that there are some people that would rather lie than tell the truth and take advantage of you. If you are this kind of person then please dont bother.
I am looking for friends, the kind that will not abandon you when you need them the most. The kind that can give out forgiveness as well as be forgiven. I am a very caring person, sometimes too much so. That usually leaves me burned in the end, and I am trying to learn from my mistakes. I want friends that are in it for the long haul that will help me grow and be there for me as well as to let me be there for them. The kind that will go to a concert, dinner, and can just enjoy themselves. I wear my heart on my sleeve, and I don’t want someone that will only take advantage of it. Clean Honest, decent people who know what they want in life and want to be good people. Sometimes I think that is asking way too much? No sluts, bad parents, or myspace whores please, and thank you.
Oh, and William Shatner, he is my hero..lol
