About Me

I'm 34 in the O.C. currently grinding as an operations manager in the Mortgage Real Estate/Finance Industry and Marketing/Sales Consulting for a few companies. I've been around the world and collaborated with some amazing people and witnessed the most inspiring sights. I'm known for my ability to spot talent or Diamond's in the rough. I find people that not only want to make it to the next level, but have what it takes to thrive there. I'm selective and protective of my friends. If anyone abuses access to this open network I'll make it private. The olive oil and vinegar that flows through my veins allows me to travel in many different circles. I'm a typical over achiever type that tries to do what's right no matter what I do. Not because of laws, people looking, or if anyone will find out, but because that's what I like to do for me. My god keeps track of the good things I do and his knowledge of my deeds is all I need. He told me that the ones that do the most good while we are here on earth get VIP access to Heaven, No Line, No Cover, and I hate to wait in line no matter how good it is inside.

My Interests

Traveling and learning how to thrive in foreign or new environments. Spending time with friends, family, my nephews, and niece. My favorite places in the world that give me strength when I need it, by just closing my eyes: Scuba Diving Captain Cooks Cove, Marlin fishing and riding my scooter exploring waterfalls and volcanoes in Kona, Hawaii. Amsterdam's Vondelpark in Spring, The Heineken Brewery on my Birthday, The Vangogh Museum in front of Iris's & Sunflowers. Cliff jumping in Corfu, the beach in Super Paridiso Mykonos. Moonlight in Prague on Charles Bridge by the Castle after, drinking Absinthe, waking up on a tram to the Boathouse. The Hafbrauhous, Augustiner, Glockenspiel in Munich. White Water Rafting Snohomish Washington and watching Bill Gates house built in to a mountain on a yacht. Bottle rocket wars in Tennessee, Dollywood, and tubing down rivers. Riverboats on the Ohio River and horse back riding the blue grass hills of Kentucky. Body surfing in Venice Beach and riding my barge down Canals as a kid. Playing football for the Hawthorne Rams, Eagle Rock Eagles, and Coaching Berkeley High as a Junior at Cal. Table tennis with friends. House Boat trips on Lake Mead in the Summer and getting bounced from almost every casino on the strip before I was 13. Sailing from Newport to Catalina with out an engine. Trying a back flip on my first Sky dive at 13k feet. Walking the perimeter of Paris and the view from the Eiffel Tower. The Vatican's Basilica and climbing to the top of St. Peters Cathedral. Visiting the camps in Dachau, Auschwitz, and Birkenau Poland in Winter and my promise to fight for those that can't fight for themselves. The Matisse Museum in Nice, The Picasso Museum in Barcelona, The Getty and The Huntington Museum in LA.Working on my domain names: http://www.Thomasdarian.com http://www.TDFunding.com http://www.ElowMortgage.com http://www.EMortgageHome.com http://www.HomeSavers123.com http://www.4FastRefi.com http://www.1800LoanFinder.com http://www.EZHomeloanz.com http://www.NetRentz.com http://www.Enovationz.com http://www.ViaCheck.com http://www.1Bank4U.com http://www.1Club4U.com http://www.UnionofStates.com, and a few more.
