Have you ever had a kufta? There are many sizes, shapes and ingredients, but I’m going to say it right here and now, “I’ve never met a kufta I didn’t like.” According to Wikipedia, a kufta is a Middle Eastern…ball of minced or ground meat — usually beef or lamb — mixed with spices and/or onions.” While I am not made out of ground meat and I’m usually not mixed with spices or onions, I feel akin to a kufta in that the sum of my parts are ultimately delicious. Don’t worry, a vegetarian option exists!

I will say that the meat of my substance is firmly rooted in my relationships with family and friends. My hobbies, goals, and preferences would just be spices and onions without them, hardly palatable. When I’m not making food analogies I like to spend my free time out-doors. If the stars are aligned, surfing is my first choice of activities. I’m pretty easy going when it comes to night life. Good food and good company are the most important components. Live entertainment is always fun but so are board games.

As for goals and aspirations, I’m already doing what I love and I hope to continue for a long time. In addition to work I would like to have a family one day. There is no warmer feeling than spending time with family. I hope to continue my volunteer work and branch out into international volunteering as well.

I'm honest, sincere, and playful. I work hard so when I have time off I make the most of it by spending it with the right people, doing something I love, trying something new, or getting some rest. I don't play games that aren't fun for all parties involved. Cesar Millan has got nothing on me, I'm a dog conversationalist.

I like almost every musical genre. Some of the tracks I listen to most often inlcude AFI, Bach, Bad Religion, Bob Marley, Clash, Dave Mathews, DJ Shadow, Filthy Thieving **stards (kind of like the Pogues), Jack Johnosn, Johnny Cash, Motzart, RJD2, etc.

I’m hoping to go on some fun dates, have some laughs, and see if anything works out.

While I'm pretty firm on mud wrestling being the second date, I like entertainment on a first date like concerts, people watching, hiking, farmers markets, board games, coffee and a crossword . . .
