My name is Eric. I guess I am not really someone who seeks the limelight, however, I am not shy and usually do not have trouble making any friends.

I joined the church when I was 23 yrs old (7 yrs ago), and it was undoubtly the best decsion I've ever made!!! I just received my endowments last december. I have a pretty strong testimony of all things related to the church!

Getting married and having a family is on my mind more than it ever used to be. I guess things have been kinda changing in my life because this wasn't something I used to focus on very much, but suddenly it has become something that is important to me.

I am a "railroader" working for BNSF railway. It is a good job that will allow me to provide well for my future family. I also love this job...everyday is an adventure!

I appreciate good food, culture, and the arts. I also enjoy traveling, backpacking, snowboarding, wakeboarding, football, baseball, golf, all types of fishing, hunting pheasents...the regular guy stuff.

I've played soccer my whole life except the last few years. I usually have some guys over to watch football games or other sporting events. I also really, really, really enjoy getting tickets and going to the games. I'm deeply passionate about my favorite sports teams - Seahawks football and Mariners baseball!!!

A couple other things about me:

-Born and raised in the Seattle-metro-area, but have lived in Montana the last seven years

-I studied anthropology at Montana State University in Bozeman, MT.

-I have traveled to over 30 countries, mostly in Europe and South America.

Im working in working and staying in the Seattle area for the first half of 2013
