Name: The Bruce™
My friends say... I'm an active but easygoing guy with a great sense of humor. I really appreciate a thought provoking conversation, and love the social scene. Happy Hour with friends, appetizers and tasty beverages is my ideal way of winding down from the workday!
I love meeting new people, making new friends and acquaintances... there is nothing that broadens your horizons more than surrounding yourself with and having engaging discussions with a number of intelligent, interesting, good natured people!
I love my job and believe it's a part of my life so I need to enjoy it or else I wouldn't do it, but I also have lines drawn between my personal and professional life so I can have the time to enjoy my life and not fall into the trap of working a round the clock.
I love to travel... I've been to 39 of the 50 states in the US and Mexico and plan on traveling abroad in the future. I guess wanderlust is in my blood now. I love the midwest and the people who reside here... I've lived in Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Kansas and for right now I call Missouri home.
I'm healthy, but I have no guilt about the less than perfect things I do to myself. I'll do things just for the experience of doing it, good, bad or ugly. I'm clumsy and have excellent reflexes at the same time. I'm learning to be less hard on things, my car, my clothes, my body... as far as I'm concerned, everything falls into the survival of the fittest category. I do my best to live life to the fullest in every aspect. No regrets ever.
The people I chose to spend my time with have: a wonderful sense of humor; an appreciation for the outdoors; a love of family and friends; a wide variety of tastes from books, movies, music and art; open minds and open hearts. If you love life, love to laugh and fun seems to follow you around, we already have something in common.
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."
Country: United States
Interests and Hobbies: Being a good person, friend, and son... Getting healthy and living a long and fruitful life... Finding happiness in all that I do and who I spend my time with... I'd like to travel more within the states via hiking, biking and camping versus planes, trains, automobiles and hotels... travel abroad at least once a year... kickball and dodgeball are my new favorite pastimes... catching at least one Cubs game each year ... I'm a novice wine connoisseur... I'm a wanna be chef - I think I'm in love with and want to marry Giada De Laurentiis on the food network... I want to continue to make friends from all walks of life because our interaction enriches my life as I hope it does theirs...
