CURRENT MISSION

Keep going

ABOUT ME

I'm a man on a mission. I just moved back to California after living abroad in Rome, Italy for a year and a half. Prior to that I lived in various countries doing work for the U.S. Marines. Now I'm getting my degree in Engineering.
I'm pretty damn fun to hang out with...so I've been told. But these bastards only tell me when they're drunk. Anyways, I'm very recreational as well. I love to be outdoors and I love being active. Some people don't like hanging out with me because of my high energy level. I keep going and that can be a nuisance. One friend told me, "I'm not walking around town with you, you'll walk to the ocean". I took it as a compliment.

教，学，和分享

America is diverse. California is extremely diverse. If we hear an accent we don't judge, we actually think it's very cool. If you're from the south or north or west or middle or up or...we don't care. We speak many languages out here. Not just European languages either, languages from all continents....even Antarctica. If you don't like a city, state or country, try experiencing it like a local. If you don't like a certain food, you're probably eating it wrong. Stop worrying about sex. If I'm not like you, if we don't have the same interests, accept it. Appreciate and respect me for who I am, nothing less.
