About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to expand my horizons and my knowledge of the world around me.

ABOUT ME

I'm living the good life. My mission in life is to learn, enjoy and give. I have great friends and meet new ones everyday. i love the diversity of Chicago and haven't even scratched the surface of potential. Update, i have relocated back to Dallas but travel for work extensivly. I could be in any of 76 cities any day.

I spent my life growing a career in engineering and construction and now plan to spend my time expanding my friendships and my knowledge of other cultures and my knowledge of the world in general.

I am taking two different martial arts classes, one yoga, one tai chi and in June I start Russian language classes. Whew but i still find time to hang in the city.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a gift. Don't waste it. Never die with the thought I should have....
