Hey I'm Chris, and I am both a fitness professional and a lifelong sports lover. Obviously referencing my screen name, I am a huge Celtics fan, as one of my happiest moments in life was watching the 131-92 thumping of the Lakers in Game 6 of the 2008 NBA Finals en route to banner 17. I also love the PGA Tour, Major League Baseball, NCAA Hoops, NBA Hoops and the Olympics.

I am also a huge music fan, especially the genre of hard rock. My favorite bands are: Nine Inch Nails, Rise Against, System of a Down, and Lostprophets. Hopefully in the next year to two years, I will be able to purchase a new drum set and reinvest myself into playing regularly...perhaps even professionally one day.

I am both a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and a Certified Personal Trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM-CPT). I train professionally in Boston, and absolutely love my job and everything that fitness entails.

While I am obviously huge into physical fitness and love what many would call "angry music," I am actually a very mild tempered guy and can enjoy relaxing at home reading just as much as a night out. I am a very outgoing individual when in a place of comfort, and am contrastingly very shy when outside of my comfort zone. I am friendly, kind, compassionate, honest, optimistic, positive, confident, moral, conscientious, and very level headed and reasonable...obviously this is all my opinion, but I have really yet to have anyone disagree with me. Of course I also have my idiosyncrasies, flaws and quirks, but I am never afraid to call a foul on myself or admit when I am wrong. I enjoy learning new things every day, and love meeting new and interesting people, and am definitely a free thinker.

I am not into just your average jocks, but far more importantly, I am into guys who are intellectual and who are kind and caring, and who can carry on conversations about many relevant aspects of life. I wouldn't say that I have a specific physical type of guy, even though I tend to be more into naturally masculine, athletic guys who are healthy and take good care of themselves

I DO however know exactly was is NOT my type of guy: those who are full of themselves over their physical appearance, those who arrogant because of their physical appearance, those who think their shit doesn't stink because of their physical appearance. And yes, I am a fitness professional saying that very bluntly. For some reason, a lot of gay men seem to feel a sense of entitlement if they are physically attractive, often without contributing any other aspect of anything to society besides optical entertainment. Guys who like to flaunt themselves are probably the single biggest turnoff to me besides guys who cheat or lie. Sure, I love guys who look good...but there is a big difference between guys who work out for themselves and guys who work out to show off and fulfill some deep-seated insecurity that is their excuse for being rude and standoffish toward others who might not be viewed as similarly attractive. Exercise and body build for your own sense of being and fulfillment, not for the hopes of getting laid and for sorry, shallow attention that only adds to negative gay stereotypes.

On a positive note, I firmly believe that a healthy level of fitness is directly correlated with a healthy level of mental stability, and that every person should actively seek an appropriate ratio of work/life balance. I am interested in friendships, dating, and potentially a long term relationship given the right situation and right guy. Please feel free to drop me a line even if you are from another part of the country, or from abroad. I travel to New York, New Jersey, Connecticut quite regularly as I have family in each.
