About

About me…hmmm?! I would like to say such great stuff about me – and this is like the forum to do it, right?!

But you know, here is who I am:I like books, but books that keep me interested: the Bible (…whole other story), anything Michael Crichton, Tom Clancy, Seth Godin, Rob Bell & Ed Young. Anything on Branding, Marketing and Advertising – as well as anything Adobe, design, colors and design – did I mention design?

I like movies: 300, Matrix trilogy, the Indiana movies…, The Game. Anything Bourne…, the Kingdom, and throw in all the Tom Clancy movies.

I like music: Mozart to Dreamtheater, Rush, OSI.

I like playing Football. Mountain Biking. Running. Snorkeling. Boarding. Outdoors.

I like coffee: Starbucks blends: Gold Coast, Kenya, Cafe Estima (my current fav!) and lastly Sumatra Siborong-Borong (<== loved it since the first time I drank it – very complex!)

I like mornings; the smell of 4am especially if I am going to the mountains. I love cigars, I hate cigarettes. (CAO gold robusto will always have me drop what I am doing to enjoy a good time-out.)

I like cooking; the whole food experience for me is awesome. Cooking, eating, dining out, different tastes with different atmospheres.

I like talking as much as listening. I like hearing arguments from people at the next table (a guilty pleasure.) I like heated discussions; its the passion people have for something they believe in. I like being with a group of friends. I like also being alone. I like sunrises and sunsets. I love thunderstorms (…the shake-the-paint-off-the-wall type). I like cloudy, fall days.

I love having my wife nearby. I love my daughter. I love seeing her new discoveries everyday. I love that God has placed me right where I am. I like surprises, I don’t like hints. I turn on God-mode for any PC game I play. I hate to lose. I love to learn. I like to have the answer you need. I love to sleep. I sleep during football games (white noise.) I hate commercials that are noisy. I like beer. I love hotels. I love the experience of a new city. I love the experience of new experiences.

I am a vegetarian that likes meat. I am organic but not a tree hugger. I don’t believe in global warming (…although, I do believe in environmental responsibility), UFO’s or ghosts. I don’t like Americans who hate America. I support the troops and their desire for victory (America was not built by cowards.) I hate bumper-sticker ideology. I love convictions.

I love fresh cut grass. The smell of coffee in the morning. Bacon. Patchouli. I like new computers. I hate installing software. I hate viruses (thanks Vundo.) I like all things design; cars, websites, graphics, magazines, architecture, sculptures, art and people. I like eccentric people. I gravitate towards quirky people. I hate posers. I liked the 80′s. I love to laugh. I like being goofy. I have been in one fight. I lost.

I have met Van Halen. Billy Idol. Def Leppard. Missing Persons. Night Ranger. They probably don’t remember meeting me. I remember odd things about people. I know trivia that is not trivia to anyone else. I like changing movie lines.

I like cold when its hot and vice versa. I wish on could stay on the mountain top all day. I like the solitude of a mountain with a friend.
