I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

I was born in Salem VA, later raised in Roanoke VA. I've also lived in Denver CO, and Newport News VA before settling here in Tampa, FL. I've contemplated moving but I really can't find anywhere else in the world that offers all the things that Tampa does.The essence of me? I'm just a simple guy trying to make it through this crazy life in one piece and having a great time while I do it! I live my life with the greatest of intentions, with varying rates of success. I live for today, because tomorrow might never come. I'm not perfect but I try. I'm quick witted, sarcastic, laid back, relaxed, and a free thinker. At the same time, I'm energetic, positive, and people often find my personality and energy infectious - for better or worse I guess! I'm loyal to my family and true friends to the bitter end. I'm mildly materialistic, but mostly a genuine person in search of greater meaning on this earth during the time I have it. I'm driven by the motivation to succeed, the pursuit of happiness, and progressive trance is the soundtrack to my life.

My Interests

Much of my free time revolves around music. I love going to see dj's big and small, locally and internationally. I enjoy good vodka, great cooking (like mine), movies, and sports like disc golf, baseball, football and hockey. Some of the other things I enjoy include writing, travel, investing, real estate, psychology and even philosophy.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who would be a positive influence in my life. Someone I can have a long conversation about everything from science, religion, politics, physics, music and how it all intertwines. Intelligent, but light hearted... a dreamer, but grounded. Positive outlook a must. The nice girl next door that isn't quite innocent. You're out there...View Blog | View Pics | Add Comment
