I often open in conversation with general ques in order to get the words flowing. I am educated in a handful of backgrounds. My heritage is a diverse mixture of European and Aboriginal descent. I have changed my place of living and jobs so many times that I need to really think about all the people I have known, the work I have done and education I have acquired. I find it very easy to speak to anyone I come across and this comes from a place of patience and empathic understanding of the individual. I like to extrapolate upon the knowledge that I have on a certain subject but I am open to new views and information that may alter or refine my understanding of the world we share. Someone with a spiritual approach to life tends to fascinate me, I do not judge anyone based upon belief, identity, culture or social status. I prefer to interpret people as they reveal who they are to me. I do have a grounding and logical approach to meeting new people. I am not an overbearing man, I like to see people be themselves around me because I don't know what I may learn from allowing people their independence. As a decade long employee in various retail operations I have acquired a devotion to giving people the best version of myself. I have a talent for deescalating potential abrasive situations that occur between people that don't share the same opinion. As a long-time laborer in a variety of positions I can appreciate hard-working people, whether that means positions that are mentally or physically taxing, possibly even both. I enjoy experiencing upbeat, calm, therapeutic and socially inclusive atmospheres where the troubles of the world can be forgotten, even for a short time and people can gather their strength for whatever is ahead for them. In general, I am just super easy to get along with and my sense of humor should lighten the mood.
