I am a 25-year-old guy living in the Land of Lincoln. In college, I became interested in nudism, and I was able to enjoy a few solo excursions such as hiking or walking around the neighborhood. I am a home nudist, but I have yet to try anything social.rnrnI am on my third attempt of trying to convert to a frugivore (fruit-based) lifestyle. My previous two attempts failed in part because of my living situation (in my parents' house), but I really want to make it work this time around.rnrnI am also a Christian, and very much dedicated to my faith. While I have become convinced that there is nothing sinful about the nude human form, no-one in my church, friend group, or family will accept that.

I am open to meeting anybody, but I would especially like to meet other Christians who practice nudism. This isn't to be exclusive, but because my own confidence would increase if I were around other like-minded people.

Outside of church, I love nature. But I don't get out very often because Springfield has nothing but cornfields to offer. I enjoy languages and fantasy.rnrnAs previously mentioned, I am interested in veganism*, specifically a fruit-based diet. My inspirations is Freelee, as well as several other personalities on YouTube.rnrn*I don't necessarily think all animal products are bad, but I do avoid them when possible. I do plan on raising bees in a sustainable hive when I have the land on which to do so.

My musical taste is fairly vast. I enjoy metalcore as a carry-over from high school. Nowadays, though, I more prefer folk music, bluegrass, and indie rock. I also love traditional ethnic music from around the world, particularly Celtic music. I play a bit of piano, though not that well, and I enjoy singing.

I am not a huge movie buff, and I tend to forget the names of even my most favorite movies. That said, a sample of films that I like include The Kingsman, Shawshank Redemption, Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy, most Disney (and Pixar) films, and Anastacia.

My paternal grandmother. Really, all of my grandparents are wonderful, but my paternal grandfather spent the last 30 years of his life with a terrible disease called ataxia that ate away at his mobility until he became essentially a paralytic. My grandma faithfully cared for him throughout this entire time. She told me that it was a privilege and an honor to take care of him, after how much he had so lovingly taken care of her in their younger days. They were each others' first and only loves, and at 18, she followed him to Germany to get married when the Army took him overseas. Her unrelenting faith in God and unwavering devotion to my grandpa—even until he died by her side in bed—has shaped so much of who I am as a person.rnrnI would also list my parents. Though they are by no means wealthy, they opened their hearts and homes to three children from Haiti who are now my sisters and brother. There is nothing about international adoption (or adoption in general) that is easy, but it has been so worth it.rnrnI also look up a lot to my pastor. He's in his 60s, but he is one of the most disarming, relatable people I know. And he has an undying commitment to the Word of God, faithfully teaching it and defending it against those who would attempt to misinterpret it.rnrnLastly, I suppose that Ron Paul would be another hero. I am a "conservative libertarian anarcho-capitalist", and it was Ron Paul who first opened my eyes and pulled me out of the lies of the GOP. So much of my worldview has come to be framed by this, and I have to thank Dr. Paul for it.
