Hello there friendly internet people of the world! My name's Alex, and I've come to befriend other LOCAL/close-by, passionate, mentally healthy, energizing, and down-to-earth people. Open to all (18 ) ages, male or female, marital status, etc as long as you are mentally and emotionally mature and passionate about something we can both do or teach each other about. I'm 29, single, moved to Land O Lakes FL, no kids, drama-free, do not do any drugs/drink, 5ft 9, ~160 lbs, white (Eastern European), and toned.

Personal things I enjoy doing/value (in no particular order):

playing tennis or baby tennis aka pickleball (haven't actually played in a bit since it's been challenging to find a consistent partner)

scenic runs/walks (esp around lakes or parks)

cooking (yes, actual full meals)

listening to music (enjoy anything upbeat and exciting like pop, EDM, classic hits. Only things I generally dislike are hardcore rap, country, and heavy metal basically)

learning new things (esp self-improvement, business, investing, tech, science, philosophy, psychology, medicine)

Always honest, open, deep/personal communication

working out

and then watching movies (mainly sci-fi, action, comedy. esp like deep ones that make you think such as Interstellar, Inception, Limitless, etc), shows, memes, educational/funny youtube vids, etc. I love to share random things that remind me of you after getting to know you a bit.

Professional info about me:

Tried the premed route, got bachelor's from University of Iowa in Health and Human Physiology, and pivoted to master's in nursing from DePaul University. I enjoy many aspects of nursing like my coworkers and caring for people but not others-more time spent documentating than doing sometimes. I did nursing for about 1.5 years before realizing the only way I could have the financial and time freedom I wanted for my and my future wife's lifestyle would be through being making my own business. So now I am the CEO and Founder of my real estate investing business and am working on scaling it.

I want our time together to help us connect/learn about each other but also both fuel up on whatever we most need to grow as people. For example, us working out together to make sure we keep each other accountable for staying active. Or maybe we had an intense week and needed some downtime by walking in a park, tennis, or something. Or working on improving each other's businesses, financial plans, etc by sharing our knowledge or strengths.

That's the kind of connection I want to strive to make! And hopefully, if YOU also started imagining scenarios and thinking something like "wow, that would be so NICE to have a connection like that!" Then you should definitely send me a message!
