My goals/aspirations are to excel in whatever I am doing. I like to compete, both at work and play. In the journey, a lot of learning takes place which makes one stronger and eventually better. Here is a motivational quote from Michael Jordan that serves as inspiration for me: "I have missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot... and missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why... I succeed."

My hobbies/interests: I love sports, both watching and playing. I work out regularly at the gym to keep fit and follow professional basketball, baseball, football around the year during the different seasons. I am a big fan of my alma mater, USC. FIGHT ON!!
I also like outdoor activities for recreation such as camping, hiking, jet-skiing.
For music, I like a wide range from rap to metal. My favorite artists include tupac, metallica, rem among others.

Online dating: I was skeptical at first, but decided to give it a shot. I think there are still quality people out there.

I think the key is spending quality time together in a comfortable setting where we can talk and get to know one another. This can be over coffee, dinner, or a stroll by the beach or at a park. I am really open about what to do for a first date.
