Hi all, I'm Collin. I have a lot of acquaintances and a few close friends. I have a balanced life, though. I work. I play. I attend church. I learn ravenously. I spend entirely too much time on the internet, like a lot of people in my generation, especially those of us without family responsibilities. I also recently graduated (again), so there's that. Plus, more than anything, I enjoy being around people despite being rather introverted (a cruel twist, I know). I'm very approachable, I have a unique blend of humor, and I'm humble and unpretentious. I've been accused of being perhaps even over-confident.

I began life in California, but subsequently spent many formative years in Central Alabama. Talk about culture shock. I will gleefully wax on for hours (semi-eloquently) but as a graduate student, I've mellowed a bit. I embrace many Libertarian ideals, and spend a great deal of time pretending to philosophize about economics, sociology, business, spirituality, and the purpose of life. I'm known for challenging my own ideas and sharing those of others, and often punt to Charles Handy or shamelessly mutilate a dubiously attributable quote. I sometimes listen to NPR, insisting that I'm not a closet liberal but simply a reflective nostalgic of radio shows such as This American Life or A Prairie Home Companion.
