Moved back to California from New England about 7 months ago, where I'd been stationed for the last year or so (Navy), and have just transitioned out of the military after six years for a brand new career with a start-up company in Menlo Park. I'm looking forward to being back out West and starting the next chapter...

I'm an active, ambitious, and adventurous guy. I strive to try new things and I'm always up for doing anything outdoors. World travel is a passion. I've been a lot of places and experienced many awesome things, but never get tired of it. I have more interests than I can keep up with, and and still adding to them. I love music and even play both the piano and guitar. I have been told I'm an extremely patient person, though I'm not sure I agree. I am dedicated and driven. I hate quitting and don't like to lose, though am usually fairly good humored when I do. Expect a rematch, though. I have tattoos and will probably end up with more. I am a big gearhead. I run, hike, mountain climb (rock & ice), snowboard, wakeboard, scuba dive, swim, and do anything else which sparks my interest. I love football, both on the field and as a spectator. I'm getting in to hockey, but don't know a lot about it yet. It's not very big where I come from. I love the fall. It looks and smells amazing. There are so many things to do both inside and outside, there's the excitement and fun of Halloween, and the promise of the rest of the holidays around the corner. With all of my outdoor activities, I still enjoy the great indoors too. I love reading or watching a good movie or TV show or just relaxing around the house. I want to live my life with as few what-could've-beens as possible.
