Fall is coming to a climate near you.

About Me

I'm 28 years old and having a good time out in Colorado Springs. I moved from L.A. 2 years ago when I started flying for the airlines and while I really miss living on the coast, I'm settling in to life along the Front Range. I love my job and I get to travel across the United States and Canada going to places that I otherwise would not get to see. Everyday I'm at work is a sunny day and I get to see the world zip past as we jet across the skies. I'm a huge Laker fan always have been and always will be. Kobe, I love you man, but shut your mouth! D-Fish is back, but F'n Boston got KG. Jerry West better be back and Mitch Kupchak should be shown the door.

My Interests

In my spare time I try and stay active. Typically I play sports such as basketball and football. On my days off I try and hit the slopes and ski in the Rocky Mountain powder and play basketball. I also enjoy mountain biking, hiking, exploring new places and bowling every now and then. For about 15 years I've been building and flying remote control gliders and have been a part of the U.S. Soaring team that went to the world championships in Germany in 2004. I enjoy traveling and I also love going to see live jazz.

I'd like to meet:

Music:

I love jazz and especially enjoy seeing it live. I'm into new forward thinking artists like Christian McBride, Dave Douglas, Steve Coleman and Kurt Rosenwinkel. Also the jazz based electronica coming out of Europe. Some more of my favorite artists are John Beltran, Dave Matthews Band, R.E.M., Koop, Pat Metheny, Chris Potter, Jazzanova, Guru, Common, and etc.

Movies:

Borat, high five!... Freak'n Idiot!! Don't you know? This web site, it will offer you protection... Airplane!-(of course)... Leon Phelps The Ladies Man... Anchorman... Meet the Parents / Fockers...

Television:

Mind of Mencia!!! If you haven't seen it, then do yourself a favor and buy the 1st and 2nd season DVD. More favs are Conan O'Brien, South Park, Around the Horn, PTI, SportsCenter, NBA Basketball (especially Lakers), MXC, Trucks (for the redneck inside all of us) and lots of stuff from the Discovery Channel.

Books:

I have some stuff on Jazz. I also promised a very good friend of mine that I would read the Urantia book.

Heroes:

I have to say that my heroes are my parents. My father had a great influence on my becoming a pilot. Ever since I was little he would take me to airshows and got me started building, then flying model planes. He has encouraged me over the years to become who I am today. My mother helped me through flight school and supported me in what I wanted to do. She was significantly responsible for allowing my dream to become a reality.
