CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to make the most of what's left of my youth. Travel as much as possible, meet as many people as possible, and continue learning German and possibly Russian. Continue getting on stage with my guitar strapped on and letting it rip!

ABOUT ME

I am a 38-year-old engineer/teacher/guitar player who's currently living away from home for the first time ever (in Upstate NY, no less). I'm currently single. It's only until recently that I really acquired a taste for travelling, and I intend to do so as much as I can in the next few years.
My description in a nutshell: quiet when I need to be, outspoken when I want to; faithful to myself and my loved ones, (usually) steadfast and passionate, a bit grumpy, yet loving, and most of all, honest.

PHILOSOPHY

"Modern-day Ghostbuster" (atheist). If it ain't broken, don't fix it. Live every day as if it were your last. What doesn't kill you, makes you fat...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Re-writing a song my grandfather had made about 60 years back in about 25 minutes, and recording it in another hour, just in time for his 102nd birthday party... =)

Teach, Learn, Share

Never be afraid to try new stuff and get out of your comfort zone (home, school, relationships, what have you); after all, who says you can't start over whenever you need to? Sometimes you need to break away from your usual stuff to realize that that's where you were supposed to be... or not...
