Hiya! I'm an over-the-road #trucker, originally from the #Midwest. I'm gay as fuck, (still) single as fuck. When I'm not criss-crossing the country, I like to explore #technology (I'm a #Mac, but also #Ubuntu,) eat lots of comfort food, take in a #baseball or #hockey game, and other random things including visiting #Canada often. I'm a bit reserved and #introverted, and like to enjoy things at my own pace. I'm trying. I sometimes pretend I'm a #coyote. #introduction
