About me

GenderMale
OccupationMedically retired Marine.
LocationBensenville, IL, United States
IntroductionI love to try new things. Variety is the spice of life, right? I can fit in just about anywhere, yet I am very much my own person. I've always marched to a different drummer, so to speak. I enjoy going to museums and zoos, as I love animals very much. Because I am a single guy, most of the time I go alone, but I am very open to sharing my life if the right lady came along.
InterestsI love travel and adventure. I have been to 13 countries on 5 continents. I also love helping people by volunteering my time for various charities. I have helped clean up the San Diego river with the San Diego Audubahn Society, read a book about "Share the Lion" (and made all the kids jump when I said "GRRRRRRR!"- LOL) at the Kroc Foundation's Literacy Fair, played Santa Claus at the MCCS Christmas Carnival at MCAS Miramar, helped assemble bikes for the USO, and helped out with numerous 5k's and half marathons, among other things. I would also love to join the Peace Corps someday.
Favorite moviesFull Metal Jacket, Slingblade, Dead Man Walking, Rules Of Engagement, A Few Good Men, Glory, The Hills Have Eyes, A Simple Plan.
Favorite musicI love pretty much all types of music, including Broadway musicals (Les Miserables, Miss Saigon, Rent, Chess, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Evita, etc.), Heavy Metal (Iron Maiden, Slayer, Overkill, Manowar, etc.), Classic Rock (The Police, Toto, Led Zepplin, Queen, etc.), oldies (The Beatles, Elvis, The Rolling Stones, etc.), inspirational music (Kari Jobe, Casting Crowns, Toby Mac) and hippy music (Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, Peter Paul and Mary, etc.).
Favorite booksDeadeye Dick by Kurt Vonnegut is the greatest work of fiction that I've ever read.
