I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Hey, how's it going? I'm a 29 year old guy who will never leave the sunny beaches of So Cal! I'm living in Downtown Huntington Beach and loving the laid-back lifestyle. I spend my free time working on cars (I love European cars), watching and playing sports, working out at the gym, working on my reef aquarium, going to the shooting range, spending time on the beach, hanging out with my buddies, watching TV/movies, and above all spending time with my wonderful wife Sarah. When I can pry myself away from my leisure activities, I work as a resident physician at UC Irvine and the Long Beach VA in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

My Interests

weightlifting, USC football, tennis, basketball, movies, music, fixing up cars, photography, cooking, watches, firearms

I'd like to meet:

Old friends, new friends, anyone cool

Music:

Classical music if I'm reading some boring medical textbook or journal. Trance / dance /rock if I'm cruising in the car. Country or easy listening while keeping myself busy around the house.

Movies:

I rarely go to the theater anymore. Too many people talking, coughing, kids screaming, cell phones ringing, and immature teenagers making out in the front rows. So I got a 106" screen for my home and rent tons of stuff.

Television:

Nip/Tuck, Weeds, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Scrubs, LOST, Heroes, and Entourage. My favorite TV show is probably Top Gear, but not the screwed up Discovery channel version. It's gotta be the BBC originals.

Books:

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation by Braddom. Otherwise, it is magazines galore. European Car, Car and Driver, Road and Track, Motor Trend, Maxim, Guns & Ammo, Stuff........

You know what is a pain in the ass?

APPLYING FOR FELLOWSHIP!  I think I'm applying for 6 or 7 places.  Hope I become a fellow.......

Her passing was unexpected.  It was really a reminder to love and appreciate our family and friends every single day.
