Who is this guy?

A native and current resident of Virginia Beach, 2-Up 2-Down (as I like to refer to it), I'm a graduate of Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, with a brief detour in Chambéry, France, mixed in.

I try to keep things rather classy, by which I mean I try to uphold good morals and be a gentleman (you know, a true gentleman, not those who just say they are) while enjoying the finer things life has to offer.  Otherwise, I'm a simple man with simple pleasures.  A beer and some barbecue lays the foundation for a good day - make the setting a tailgate at a Hokies football game and I think we can be friends for a long time.  I'm loyal to and passionate for all things Hokie, most things France, Old Dominion basketball, l'OM, Juventus, Virginia Beach, and the 757.  Baseball was my first love, but now life is more about trying new things after spending so much time on the bat-and-ball train.  Things that I usually can't get enough of include whatever my sports flavor of the moment is, good food, dancing, my current fashion trends, Top Chef, playing golf, and otherwise doing what my manhood bids that I do.

I love input, so please feel free to comment on posts or email me at p.lee.turner@gmail.com!  Seriously, I gladly take suggestions for writing, wine, restaurants, and fashion (men's, duh).  Of course, subscribing to the blog and following me on Twitter (@akaClassy) are both acceptable courses of action, too!
