Well that's me above, not the greatest picture... I don't usually look that mean. Anyway I guess I'll tell ya a little about myself, well first off my name's James... I'm twenty five years old, 5'10", 165 lbs. I currently work for Cummins OER, a large automotive engine manufacturer located in Markham Ontario. I've been working there since February of this year when I moved from Ottawa to Toronto.

I have a sarcastic sense of humor and always try to look on the bright side of every situation no matter how bad things seem. I consider myself to be a goal oriented person... when I see a goal I know I can achieve I'll push myself to the breaking point to try to reach it. I'm a person that believes in principals, and that actions speak louder than words, I believe that people should always follow through with their promises and keep their word. I've learned and experienced much more than the few years I've spent visiting this planet would indicate, lessons which I hope to share with a family of my own someday.

I've always lived in southern Ontario, but have had the opportunity to visit many other wonderful places and have met many wonderful people along the way. I recently returned from a trip to southeast Asia, bringing back with me a new and enlightened view of the world... and an escalating understanding of all we have to be grateful for... and of the responsibility of the developed nations to assist and teach less advanced nations all that we have learned so they too can enjoy life as much as we do.

I have a diverse array of interests which currently include(but are not limited to) genealogy, canadian history, technology, web site design, conservation, politics, traveling, music, bike racing, and just the world around me in general... my day isn't complete unless I learn something new. I always try and take time out to marvel at all the beautiful things on this planet, we've been blessed with so much I only wish everyone else would take time out to "smell the roses"
