About Me

I'm short dark and some say handsome. I'm dark thanks to the SW Florida sunshine. Short and handsome thanks to Madre y Padre. I've been in Naples since August of last year. Love this town.I was living in Hoboken for a couple or years. Love that town. Shout out to my Hoboken people! I've been involved in construction my whole life at some level. Now I'm putting together big industrial water and wastewater systems. Well, not really putting them together myself, just making it all happen. Not a glamorous job. A little stinky at times, but I love it. I'm laying huge pipe!Before this I was working for Collier County Government. Yeah, I was on the other side for a while. It was weird, but it had it's perks. Definately didn't show in the paycheck though. It was a short run, but I left some sort of an impression for sure.Waddup Philly!? Love you guys too. Great town. Brotherly and sisterly love baby.I got a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Lehigh University. BIG BIG shout to LU. That campus saw the best and worst of me. OX Rox. Enough said.I love realestate, business, and money. Actually, I love anything that makes me money. I really hate money. It is one of the few things that makes good people do really bad things. I just want to have enough so that I don't have to think about it. If all goes according to plan I'll be retired buy my 35th birthday. Mind you the plan is about 5 years behind, so I have some catching up to do. Sleep is over-rated.I like to read, mostly non-fiction stuff. One of my fav's is "The 48 Laws of Power". Lots of life lessons in there, and a bunch of history lessons too. One of my fav fiction books is "The Catcher in the Rye".I'm into physical fitness and healthy eating. I would say healthy lifestyle, but I have some work to do there. Beer and cigarettes. Go together like lamb and tunafish. I figure if I do enough good stuff for my body it will balance out the bad stuff. I'm all about yin vs. yang. Good vs. evil, the constant struggle. What would life be without it? BORING!

My Interests

I dig anything with an engine, fast or slow. Preferably fast. The only thing I love more than riding or driving fast is taking it apart and putting it back together before I do so.I already covered the physical fitness and healthy lifestyle, or lack thereof. Boating, fishing, recreational beer drinking, BBQ. Man stuff. I read Maxim, Stuff, Men's Health and GQ. What? Don't get left behind the times in fashion and health people.I love to cook for real. Learned from the best. A little redheaded Italian lady I call Ma.Business and realestate are always on my mind. Well, at least when I'm not laying huge pipe in my current jobby job or doing man stuff.I love new experiences. If you know about something really cool that I don't, clue me in. I'll make sure others find out how cool it is too.

I'd like to meet:

Women: I like smallish girls. I'm 5'7" on my best day. I dig tall girls too. I like Donna from "That 70's Show", just a little partial to shorties. I like a bit of brains, but not looking for Mensa members. I can get deep on the philosophical tip, so I need someone that can give me new ideas, not just agree with me. I love girls that have natural beauty, easy on the war paint if you know what I mean. That's about as close to my "type" as I can get. I see beauty in many ways.Wingmen: I'm always down to meet new crew members. Business opportunities are always in my sights. Players unite.

Music:

Everything from James Brown to Led Zepplin (one of the alltime best ever) to Blink 182 to NWA to golden oldies. BeeGees? Sure. Abba? Yep. John Denver. You betcha. I love classic rock. Korn rocks. Patera. Roar! Metallica. Yeah, before the black album. Beastie Boys, A Tribe Called Quest, one of my favs. DJ Z-Trip. Who's that you say? I want to enlighten you. The Roots crew without question. People Under the Stairs. Pharcyde. DJ Scribbles. I could go on. There is really only 1 genre I don't like. Country. I mean like pop country and real hillbilly good 'ol boy redneck stuff. Makes me wanna snuff it. Watch "A Clockwork Orange" to find out what that means. I like Southern Rock definately. Thanks to Kid Rock for bringing that to X and Y genner's attention.

Movies:

Anything with Jennifer Aniston, Penelope Cruz, Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock, Jack Nicholson, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, John Candy, Ben Stiller, Christopher Walken, Val Kilmer, Tom Cruz...Johnny Depp is the man. I want to be Captain Jack Sparrow. I love that movie "Falling Down". "The Wall", but that's not your average movie. Anything Kubrick, Speilberg, KING. I'm far from a movie buff, but I just bought a nice LCD TV and DVD surround package, so I have alot of watching to do now.

Television:

Cooking shows, news, Sopranos. I watch alot of Discovery Channel, History Channel, some TLC. I like educational entertainment. Porn can be educational too.

Books:

Non fiction for the most part. "A Catcher in the Rye" is my favorite fiction. "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill, Anything Robert Kyosaki. Who Moved MY Cheese dammit!? 48 Laws. Love it.

Heroes:

Lance Armstrong. Not only is he a phyical superman that conquered cancer and the Tour, but he dumped his beautiful wife to go out with Cheryl Crow. You go Lance! Whenever I start wussing out on things, I say in my head "Quit whining, Lance would do it!".George Washington and all our Founding Fathers. USA baby!Astronauts.Great thinkers like Leonardo Davinci, Michaelangelo, Newton, Volta, Tesla, Einstein, Bohr.My Dad and Mom. I am blessed with the most awesome parents. Everything I do is to make them proud and repay them for all thier sacrifices and hard work. Love you!
