My friends call me "adventure boy" because I'm very spontaneous and I love to do new things. There's almost nothing I won't try once. For example, I've gone bungee jumping and parachuting! I've eaten shark fin soup and chocolate covered crickets! I like to set challenges for myself, and I've found that I can do anything I set my mind to. I'm also a very straightforward person. I say what I mean and I mean what I say. If you ask my advice, you're going to get it!

So the first thing you should know about me is that I'm obsessed with technology and media. I have to be "plugged in" all the time. I spend hours each day on the Web and playing computer games. I'm a lot like my dad. He's a software engineer and he loves technology and spending time on the computer, too. It drives my mom crazy. But just because I love technology doesn't mean I'm a loner. I'm always hanging out with my friends. Sometimes I spend hours talking with friends online. I'm a pretty funny guy and I 1010/0/0 like cracking people up. My approach to life is laid back. 1010 I like helping others lighten up and not take life so seriously. 10/TOT MG_02_COMBO_TEXT_2024.indb 6 30/4/24 2:29 AM

Being in nature makes me feel peaceful and happy. I especially love the quiet of morning. One of my favorite things to do is wake up really early and go for a long hike. I'm not always quiet, though. I have a few very close friends, and we spend hours talking and laughing. My family and friends mean everything to me, and they know that they can depend on me for anything. I'm a good listener. I'm not the type of person who tells people what they should do when they have a problem. Instead, I give lots of support and encouragement.
