I am a SoCal native and pretty down-to-earth. I am freakishly intelligent, witty and bright and have a respectful, but cutting sense of sarcasm at times.

I consider part of being "down-to-earth" to be humble at times, so to come clean...regrettably....I am not the most intelligent, nor the most witty, or brightest and perhaps my sarcasm and verbal game are severely lacking...but I CAN:

** Leap tall buildings in a single bound **
** Make mountains out of molehills **
** Give back-handed compliments **
** Act high and mighty **

I enjoy new experiences, traveling to far-flung or random places, chillin' with friends, fixing things, organizing things, planning things, pumping iron, parties, and occasional times of solitude.

I also like doing things in the great outdoors...it makes me feel amazingly free and alive so I enjoy hiking, camping, backpacking, trail running, and riding my motorcycle in the desert with friends.

I am an extremely positive person. I cannot remember a time when I thought any particular day sucked or was horrible. Sure...there were lots of days when difficult and challenging things have happened and I was upset or pissed off, but at the end of the day I am grateful to be alive and healthy to experience another day.

I am an affectionate person. Not "PDA" affectionate or needy, just a guy that is affectionate.

I enjoy music from the 70's to present, including alternative, reggae, hip hop, new wave, classic rock, and some classical, but most days I'm listening to KROQ, 98.7 or 91X on the radio or some playlist on my iPod.

I am not religious. If you are and feel strongly about faith, then we probably aren't soul mates.

I have depth and can converse on just about any level about a wide array of things. We can make stupid puns, exchange witty sidebars or have deep philosophical conversations together. I can be as silly, stupid, amusing or intellectual as the mood or circumstance dictates. Try me.

WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR:

*** I would really like my partner to have some verbal game, presence and poise. I want you to be a person that goes with me to strange places and meets new and fascinating people, introduces yourself, and holds your own in a conversation. I can and will be the man when needed, but I want an adventure partner and I need a contributor.

*** I like funny, witty people that are down-to-earth.

*** I like people that are self-sufficient.

*** You need to be tolerant, compassionate and humanâ
