I'm a University of Texas grad with a degree in Anthropology but I work in the tech field. I enjoy spending time with friends, girlfriend Jennifer, family and my dog, Shasta.<br />Austin, TX is home but I grew up outside of Houston.<br />For fun I like to run, hike, do yoga, and go riding. Exploring the food and wine scene in Austin with my girlfriend isn't exactly a hobby, but more of a lifestyle. We both also love to cook, read and entertain.<br /><br />Tried and liked:<br /><br />Padron 2000/Londres Maduro/Natural, 1926 #35 Maddie, Corticos<br />AF Hemingway SS and MSS, WOA and WOAM, Anejo 49,48,55, Opus Power Ranger, xXx, Robusto, Fuente Fuente and Exquisitos Maddie<br />Panacea White and Red.
