About Me

I'm just me...and that changes every day! I'm a good ole fashion farm boy from NY who just so happens to travel around quite a bit while I'm still young. My next stop is Mexico City, Mexico for the summer! You know what that means!? ... err ... neither do I, but I hear it's nice :)

I'm a high-energy, spontaneous, and open-minded guy who is known to have crazy adventures in the name of my friends and family including road trips and last minute flights across the country just to hang out with them. Life is what one makes of it after all. Live real, be real!

I absolutely LOVE Upstate/Albany, NY so if you're hatin' on the Capital District then you should probably click somewhere else. Also, I'm very close with my whole family and the best times of my life were times with them (most of which were in Upstate, so you can see how they all tie together :).

I am always open and honest about how I feel. I believe in two-way, real communication between people. For all of you that are scared by this, please don't bother emailing me. Let's save ourselves the trouble up front. If you are up for the challenge of meeting a "real" person, go ahead and send me an email. I'll talk to anyone.

I'm a bit of a zaney nut who loves spontaneous adventures. Luckily I've been fortunate enough to be surrounded by like-minded individuals. Here are just a few such individuals. Thanks for the posters Chang'r!
