ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Tampa, Florida. University of South Florida alumni with a degree in International Studies and Economics. Very goal oriented and busy guy who is very clean-cut, and chill. I am into sports, music, scifi, politics and economics/finance. HUGE STAR TREK AND STAR WARS FAN :D (though I heavily prefer Star Trek) I like to drink(beer,wine and liquor), watch movies, beach, mall, bars,extracurriculars at school, work-out/gym(3-4x week), comic books/graphic novels, read books, magazines, and the newspaper; and have good conversations about contemporary and pertinent issues of the day and times.

I feel that it is very important for one to be involved in their community and contribute to it. I always try to volunteer through either my job or community organizations. I participate heavily in civic forums and debates and try my hardest to understand the issues of the day that affect me and the community I live in, whether it be local, state, national or global.

I am also into technology, science, philosphy, metaphysics, world religions (though I identify primarily as a Christian), and video games.

I consider myself a big Nerd, despite the fact that yes, I do go to the gym, but other than that I am awkward and nerdy as they come. Just don't want to come off as a "meat head" or "jock" :D

I can be difficult to get a long with at times as I am overtly logical, very blunt, and lack the social sensitivities and nuances that many people, especially gay men require. I frequently state the "truth" as I observe it to ones around me regardless of its context or its emotional affect on the recipient. However, I will never conduct this type of behavior in a rude or condescending manner, or at least try my best not to. I also will correct one if they state something that is not factual and will provide factual evidence to support my premise. Furthermore, I am always open to hearing other's opinions or criticisms of myself, even if I disagree with them if it is stated in a thoughtful and considerate manner. I enjoy having my perceptions of reality and worldview challenged, re-affirmed or modified if necessary.
