Other Info:
I'm intelligent and very fit. I'm very active and blessed in that I actually enjoy working out. I'm also pretty nice--and humble! ;) I'm typically not one for talking myself up, but I guess this is the place for it if there is any. I'm really pretty laid back and easy going about life and this whole process.
I've donated a few times before and its very rewarding to me personally to be able to help people.
I have experience shipping and can ship chilled. I also have frozen vials available. I am open to shipping internationally.
Talents:
I'm athletic and ran in college, about a 4:15 mile equivalent and 14:30 3 mile and 25:30 5 mile were by best times. I could probably barely run a 6:00 min mile now. But, I've switched a bit toward lifting to keep things fun and squat over 300 pound and dead lift about 350. I'm thinking about training to be on American Ninja Warrior (just heard about that show a month ago), but those guys are serious beast and I need to work on my grip strength and climbing and agility and pretty much everything else!
Retaining my childlike curiosity.
Decent signing voice--at least it sounds good in the shower, and they humor me at church and let me help out a bit. I can also make a trumpet sound with my mouth. When I have a cold or in the morning I can sometimes hit a C2, but that's pretty rare and I'm usually more in the E-F on the low end. I can go C5ish using a falsetto but it sounds horrendous. About an A without, and an E-F without straining terribly. So pretty much a baritone range I think.
I'm pretty quick to learn new things, espeically things I find interesting.

Personality
I like smaller groups and fewer close friends, to whom I'm committed. I'm usually the one cracking jokes at meetings. Kinda intense about whatever I happen to be interested at the time. I really enjoy encouraging those around me.
Pretty classic INTP for those familar with Myers-Briggs
Hobbies & Interests
Too many! Philosophy, theology, science (especially brain science now, and even a bit of 'space science' now that they are discovering possibility habitable earth size planets!!), politics (I've actually been watching the primary debates!, traveled to NH in 2008 to campaign for Dr. Ron Paul (and visit family)), economics, music, religion. Family time of course! Lifting. Running. Hiking. Taught myself SQL for some projects at work that we've applied for a patient on. Solving the world's problems in my head.
Motivation
Looking to help and perpetuate a small piece of the genetic information that was passed onto me through the innumerable generations. My three (my third is almost one! guess I should check my profile more often!) kids are both doing extremely well, and are such a source of joy that I want to be able to help other experience that joy as well. I've got the chance to see a few pics of donor kids and quite rewarding. And its always wonderful to hear of a success and how grateful people are!
What I'm Looking For:
I'm looking for people who seem nice, are fairly financially stable, work to make their own way in life; and, ideally, people who have some good local social support system such as family, friends, church, etc. and who are aiming to inculcate in their children virtues which will promote human flourishing in themselves and those around them.
