Intelligent and level headed, I have a very blue collar attitude. I enjoy anything challenging, as I tend to get board quickly.

Politics is one of my favorite topics of discussion and I enjoy any exchange of ideas. I absolutely hate those who try to impose their views on others, so you can say I'm quite the secularist. My position on specific issues ranges from liberal to conservative.

My favorite author is Tom Clancy and director/writer would have to be Kevin Smith. I'm also a big fan of the TV shows Mythbusters, Trailer Park Boys, The Daily Show/Colbert Report and The Ultamite Fighter (HUGE MMA fan) as they are the only TV shows that I would make time for. But other then the shows above I really dont watch that much TV.

I'm college educated (2 associate degrees) and am a licensed tradesman. I am successful in my profession and have a bright future in industry. I'm highly motivated and I'm constantly trying to learn and better myself in everything I do.

I am a fish keeping hobbyist. I have a 55gal with south american cichlids, and they are a fantastic fish to keep.

I am VERY independent and as such I tend to take care of things myself and not ask others to do them for me, and its a trait I value in other people... I dont like "babysitting". Now this doesnt mean that I'm selfish or dont like to help people, in fact the opposite is true... Its just I value self reliance. That being said the characteristic that I look for the most in someone is strength. Strong character, determination and work ethic are all really appealing to me.

So do you still think you can keep up with me? :)

Usually its coffee or dinner... Something were we can get a good conversation going.
