Michael P.'s Story
Life
I'm constantly exploring new places and seeking adventure, whether it is watching the sunrise from atop Mt. Fuji, climbing the Sydney Harbor Bridge in Australia, or breaking the speed of sound. I am an enthusiastic professional with a love for adventure and a positive outlook on life. Exploring the world has given me the confidence to feel comfortable in most situations and I'm equally adept at discussing literature, art, politics, and current events. Constantly trying to better myself, I am always learning something new, whether it is by classes, books, or throwing myself headlong into a new hobby. I'm spontaneous and love daytrips to San Diego, Big Bear, the beach, or Catalina. Most exciting, though, is conversation; the type of conversation where you feel the emotional high from actually making a connection with another person. I am a lover of stylish clothes and shoes (although I choose not to reside on the bleeding edge of fashion), intriguing books, alternative music, and great conversation.
