Hey there everyone! I'm a 33 year old Caucasian male with brown hair and hazel eyes (I also carry blue eyed genes and have blonde sisters). I love the outdoors and I'm a runner. I have a high energy level, I'm extroverted and possess good social skills. I have zero family or personal history of mental illness of any kind (unless you count eating hardboiled eggs with the shell on because I like the crunch). I have a family history of longevity, as three of my grandparents have reached the age of 90+ (I'd like to say that means we are hard to kill, but let's not tempt fate haha). I do not do drugs, and I rarely even consume alcohol. I've never had an STD. While those qualities by themselves are not that rare, what makes me a bit unique is that I have an IQ above the 99.9th percentile (right around 150 for tests with a 15 point standard deviation). I'm a member of the high IQ society called the Triple Nine Society, for people who score at or above the 99.9th percentile on standardized tests of intelligence. This means you can count on me to recite endless science factoids or to recite the spelling of pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicavolcanoconiosis from memory, but I can absolutely guarantee that if you have noisy car trouble, the most I can do is tell you you should audition for the remake of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. That said, individuals possessing an IQ as high as mine, along with the other desirable genetic traits I have, *are* exceedingly rare.

Research suggests that intelligence is highly heritable, so the odds are very good that my genetics will have a strong positive influence on the traits of intelligence the baby inherits (I promise they won't have the Megamind phenotype though). I personally value intelligence a lot, and I hope that recipients considering me as a potential donor also value intelligence. My siblings are also all highly intelligent, as two of them have also achieved standardized test scores above the 99.9th percentile, so that heritable factor of intelligence feels very consistent in my family. I believe that my genetics contain a lot of potential, and I think that sharing my genetics with others could very possibly result in some really awesome children.

I work in the healthcare field and have a great interest in learning about the world around me. Academically, I had an interest in almost every subject in school but my strongest subjects were math and science. Both myself and all three of my siblings were standout students in high school. Two of my younger siblings were valedictorians and one went on to attend an Ivy League school. I ran cross country, wrestled and played tennis in high school, then went on to run college cross country. I still keep active through running (though I will say, the pandemic was ROUGH on my motivation for several years) and to date I have ran five marathons and one ultramarathon (100km). I also have a lot of outdoor hobbies which include: rock climbing, cliff jumping, swimming, kayaking, hiking and camping. I eat healthy and have always made generally healthy lifestyle choices throughout my life.

My family and I are also highly creative. I happen to be very linguistically expressive, and I was good at creative writing and essay projects when I was a child and teenager, and I love wordplay, poetry, even simple puns are something I have a deep love for (I make my workmates groan often - I might love puns a little too much haha). I love outside the box thinking and problem solving and consider it a strength of mine. Among my siblings, one is a dancer, choreographer, and artist, and also played 4 different instruments in band. Another designs video games for fun and is a very talented creative writer as well. Both of those siblings are the two who were valedictorians. The last one, she is a talented singer, and had a fantastic memory for songs, lyrics, and music in general, and has a deep appreciation for art, plus she herself loves to paint and be creative. I love how creative my family is, I feel like we all would be missing something if we did not have that.

By the way, I have ADHD, which means my brain is wired differently than most people and I am considered neurodivergent. This is part of the reason for my active lifestyle and high energy level, though I also have a conscious commitment to a healthy lifestyle with the goal of living a long and ailment free life. I tend to be drawn to new and novel things, and I am easily drawn to things that engage my attention or curiosity. I always tested extremely well in school, but I found most coursework very easy and boring (which often meant procrastination). While I *was* an honor student, it was more challenging for my parents to raise me compared to my other siblings, as being a child with ADHD meant that I had an even higher energy level than most children and was distractable, headstrong and stubborn.

The fact that I have ADHD does mean there is an increased chance that a child conceived with my sperm may have it as well. I personally value the mental resilience and optimistic mindset that I attribute in part to the mental wiring I possess from the ADHD condition. Due to my insatiable curiosity and proclivity towards seeking novel experiences, I am very motivated towards trying new things, making new friends, traveling, and learning new skills, thoughts and ideas. I'm the only one of my siblings to have traveled outside of North America, as I've been to China, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan. I should hope that if any other child born from my sperm does inherit ADHD, they would look at it positively as well and embrace it as a part of what makes them unique.

I live in Spokane, Washington, USA. I am willing to travel within the Spokane area to meet with interested sperm donation recipients, but if you are from outside of the area, you'll need to either travel to me or pay me for my time and expenses in traveling to you. I will only travel to those I find to be compelling matches, however, as I lead a very busy life. I will waive all parental rights and obligations (I have a donor agreement I use) and am not interested in anything like coparenting or being a part of the process of raising the child. I will ask for (at minimum) updates and photos of the child as they grow up, and will provide a way to keep in touch for that communication. My preference is for a higher degree of contact, however, as studies show that it is of great psychological benefit for donor conceived children. I don't need to be heavily involved, but if they have questions or express curiosity while they are growing up, I would like to be available to answer those questions so that they can develop a stronger sense of self identity by knowing more about that half of where they came from, genetically. I also have a Facebook group for all of my successful recipients to join so that they can interact with other recipients, and their children may have a chance to know their half siblings while growing up, as some recipients value those opportunities.

I'm looking to donate primarily to successful and stable couples (and some single women) who have good values and who are family oriented. The kind of people likely to raise well adjusted, emotionally secure and trauma free children into successful, driven, altruistic and ethical adults that have the potential to make the world a better place.

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!"

- Ralph Waldo Emerson
