I'll be adding more information soon. In the meantime, here's a little bit of info on me! :)
I was born and raised in Hawaii on the island of Oahu. I grew up around the ocean and love everything beach related. It's very therapeutic for me to be on, under or near the water. Being from Hawaii, I'm down to earth and 100% real and genuine. I look for the good in people, have a good sense of humor, can laugh at myself and learn from my mistakes. I treat people and my friends the way I want to be treated. I can't stand hypocrites, flakiness or insincerity, which basically typifies the majority of Los Angeles! Maybe it's my upbringing or maybe I'm an old soul, but I was brought up to be respectful, honest and sincere. Oh well, enough about me, LOL... I do enjoy Los Angeles, it definitely has grown on me and I call this place home, though I must return to the Islands every year to visit my family. I've lived here in Southern California since graduating from Loyola Marymount University. I currently work as a certified fitness trainer here in the Land of Fruits and Nuts, known as Hollywood.
