I am looking for chemistry first, someone who is sweet and fun to go Hiking or Mountain Biking with and take daytrips to NYC, Philadelphia, and DC. I'm an artistic/creative Army veteran... ambitious, funny, kind/caring, affectionate, and looking for someone who has similar qualities and interests. I am very easy going and laid back. I wear my heart on my sleeve, and I have a generally positive attitude. I love movies, writing, live music (anything but hip-hop / rap) and photography, and I'm looking for a passionate and committed relationship.

I am a Radiology Technologist ("X-Ray Technician") who dabbles in I.T. and Cardiology. I work in an ER and love it, I'm not sure I could ever give that up, but I am currently learning more about designing websites and have several online businesses "incubating". I've taken martial arts on and off throughout my life ever since I was 9, and I've recently rekindled my interest in them. Also getting back into bodybuilding after not doing it for several years.

I like to make portraits.... Semi-photo-realistic portraits drawn in pencil + watercolor, or pen and ink.

Favorite Movies:
Bourne Identity/Supremacy/Ultimatum, Police Story, any Jackie Chan or Milla Jovovich movie (You gotta love an ex-super model who is also a martial artist), Cloverfield, I Am Legend, Enchanted, Oceans 11/12/13, El Mariachi. And Shrek is the shiznit. I love kid's movies!

Music: Lately I've been working out to Tool, Bush, Collective Soul, and Rage Against the Machine. Because of all the time I spent in Kansas City, I also love KC style Jazz and Blues. But in general I lean towards "classic rock" and "alternative".....Puddle of Mudd, Bright Eyes, System of A Down,REM, Silver Chair, Frank Zappa, Aerosmith, Soundgarden, The Doors, Heart, Eagles, Linkin Park, Jefferson Airplane, Lynyrd Skynyrd, .38 Special, The Allman Brothers Band, Styx, Boston, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, ELO, The Strokes, Soundgarden, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fleetwood Mac, Jethro Tull, Kansas, Grand Funk Railroad, Journey, Foreigner, REO Speedwagon, Donnie Iris, The Grateful Dead, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Jesus Jones, Toadigs, White Stripes, No Doubt, The James Gang, Bob Marley, Steve Miller Band, Alice Cooper, Tom Petty, Blue Öyster Cult, Joe Walsh, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Lenny Kravitz, Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac, Santana, Greenday, Weezer, KT Tunstall, Rage Against the Machine, Tool, The Killers...

Food: Thai and Italian are my favorite kinds of food but before I get quizzed (jesus. again?), I'm not a "foodie" - I don't know the names of the dishes on Thai menus and no I can't pronounce them. I can pick up the menu of any Thai restaurant, randomly pick something, and go home thinking I just ate the best thing since sliced bread. I'm allergic to shellfish, though (lobster/crab/shrimp) and I learned to cook in a Cajun restaurant + from my Panamanian family and I'm slowly learning to cook Thai food.

Please only message me if you'd actually like to eventually meet. I work evenings, 3pm-midnight, monday -friday. Need to be able to work around that schedule. I can make myself available for breakfast or lunch, and I'm usually available for coffee or wine after midnight on weekdays - and I have alternating weekends to myself. It's hard to meet people around BaRtimore if you're someone who is not into bars (like myself)- but if you have a special place in mind or have ideas on where to go late on a weekday night, let me know.
