I am a natural troubleshooter, a performer, and a competitor.

At work. I am bored and restless with jobs that are routine and structured, and satisfied in careers that allow me independence and freedom while using my physical coordination and my love of tools. I view any kind of tool as an extension of self. I am a natural performer.

In love
. I seek a relationship with shared activities and interests. With my mate, I like to explore new ways to energize the relationship. As a lover I need to be bold; I thrive on physical contact. I believe in leaving plans flexible, so I can chose what to do when the moment arrives.

In childhood, of all types of children, I had the most difficult time fitting into an academic routine. I learned by doing and experiencing, rather than by listening and reading. I needed physical involvement in the learning process and was motivated by my own natural competitive nature and sense of fun.
