I am a motivated and talented self-starter. Sometimes people say I'm a little too edgy; but how can you find true love without having a little bit of a good sense of humor? I enjoy the outdoors and physical exercise, especially hiking and taking brisk walks in my neighborhood. I am a serious person, although I do enjoy laughing. I am also very respectful toward women--you can just ask my mother. I am more or less conservative in my beliefs but I do consider opposing views and sometimes I walk the middle ground. I don't believe in everything I see, read, or hear in the news. I believe in courtesy and kindness and generosity. I am Ethiopian and I love my country. I have had the pleasure of living in South Africa for four years and I currently reside in the USA. God bless America, my home away from home.
