CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am a 27 year old kid :) I like to be spontaneous and sometimes do the opposite of what i am told (funny story time: during a company golf event, my buddy and I drove the golf cart up a hill, put it on neutral and let it go down backwards.... all was going fine until he told me "No matter what Zee, do NOT turn" ..... i did turn... we flipped the cart over! we were told to walk the rest of the course.. it was hole number 4)

I can be shy sometimes (my friends refuse to believe that and they think i am the opposite of shy.. ) But i can also be extremely open and social (funny story #2: i was once stranded in Idaho with nowhere to go. So i went to the bar and heard some guys practice their singing behind me. They were a band from Nashville. We talked and I went and saw their gig, we got drunk, and I ended up couch surfing their hotel room)

I like to talk, listen and share stories with others.

My passion in life is Snowboarding. There is a feeling of freedom when you are sitting on the top of a mountain that is simply priceless. All the worries, all the stress goes away when you stare at the world from the top of a mountain.

I enjoy playing and watching sports. I have this amazing skill to pick up any sport and be good at it.

I love to listen to music, especially when i wake up in the morning. So far, nothing beat Reggae music in the morning. Just gets you motivated, and puts a smile on your face.
Music is a wonderful way to share and express your feelings and i love it when i hear a song from way back when, and it reminds you of an exact moment/time in life!

I hate drama, and rather laugh all the time, then deal with BS. I am a laid back dude who just wants to live life! There was a time where i would get upset at the little things.... but now, i laugh and make the best out of the worst possible situations!

One word to describe myself: Zestful! (a friend of mine once told me that: "Zee is for Zestful, that's why your name is Zee!"
