First off I’d like to apologize; I’m terrible at writing, let alone writing about myself. That's why I was trying to hire Steven King to write this thing for me, but after thinking for a while I really didn't want to die at the hands of some kind of flesh eating monster, demonic house or possessed dog at the end of my own profile. That’s a big reason why I got into the sciences. I’d rather create something tangible that could destroy the world rather than keeping it locked up in my head then eventually writing it on paper. Once you get past the self-deprecating humor, you will soon learn that I'm a raging egomaniac. Nah, that's not true, either. Well maybe just a little, but how do you just say that you're a nice, successful guy looking to share his time with someone special, so it sounds interesting and not too generic so that it could captivate (the peacock effect: dazzle you with my stunning display of B.S.) a beautiful young woman and wisp her off her feet long before she even meets you?

Anyway a little bit about myself, I moved here to Virginia Beach from central Pennsylvania in the summer of 2010 after I graduated from Penn State. I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. I want to do something worthwhile with what I’ve learned. There are so many problems plaguing our world that can be fixed with some hard work and a change in attitude. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find a cool job tackling those problems or building transformers, or flying suits of armor, or even driving a train (all childhood dreams). Right now I’m stuck as a civilian Mechanical Engineer for the Department of Defense. It’s mostly a desk job in an office building but it would be a lot cooler if it was a desk job at, let’s say, area 51. A place where everyone wears black suits and sunglasses and the threat of alien invasion is constant.

But in all seriousness I’m on here for the same reasons mostly everyone else is; to find someone to make life a little less lonely. It would be nice to come home and make dinner for the girl I care about, or maybe go out on a weekend adventure to someplace new. Perhaps a picnic on the beach or a jog on the boardwalk, or maybe just curled up together on the sofa watching a movie. The possibilities are endless as long as you’re with that special someone you’d do anything for. I’m know I’m a romantic at heart which also means I’ve opened myself to a lot of heartache in the past. I’ve been out of any type of relationship for a few years now and know I’m ready to open a new chapter in my life. All I need now is someone willing to open it with me.
