Friends describe me as a down-to-earth, passionate, wear my heart on my sleeve kind of guy. While in college I was an exchange student in Germany for a semester. I have also lived in Portland, Oregon and the Washington DC area. I like hiking, biking, swimming in the ocean on hot beaches, surfing, boogie-boarding, tennis and golf. In the city, I like seeing a good show or concert, hitting a club for some dancing, or just kicking back at a park or museum. I love great food, have a sensitive palate and am a good cook. I also love music and practice classical guitar.
