Hey there, I'm Erwin!

Welcome to my Date Me page. I learned about this idea from a friend and thought it's a great idea since I love documenting everything on this blog.

If you think this is ridiculous, that is OK. I guess it was not meant to be :(

This is simply a way to meet new people in a more intentional and thoughtful way. Here is a look at who I am and what matters to me. Life is short and no need to waste time dating people if there's not really any long term potential.

But if something here resonates, I would love to hear from you :)

Who I Am

Age: 41
Height: 5’ 6”
Faith: My Christian faith shapes how I live, how I make decisions, and how I care for people. I currently attend Mariner's Church - North Irvine.
Occupation: IT stuff at Induce Biologics. We make bone regeneration products. My work centers on building strong systems, supporting teams, and creating calm in the middle of chaos.
Passions: I love endurance sports. My focus is triathlon since one sport is not enough. I also like to race in HYROX since I want to run fast but stay strong. I love the long training blocks because they have taught me discipline, grit, and a lot about myself. I also enjoy building meaningful projects like my Muir Rock blog, podcast, and started Muir Rock Fitness & Yoga in August 2025.
Education: MBA & B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from UC Irvine. I wasn't the best student but I got my degrees and always had a job since the day I graduated college, so let's leave it at that.
Credit Score: Pretty high. Why does this matter?? Financial issues are the #1 cause of divorce. I'm pretty responsible when it comes to money, regardless of how many Amazon packages show up every week.

Core Values (Stuff I like to blog and talk about)

Humility: I don’t deserve the life I’ve been blessed with. It’s all God’s grace. And even though I’ve been around the block in my career and with life experience, I try to stay grounded and love being around people who do the same.
Perseverance: Life’s thrown some major curveballs like losing Teri (April 2023) and my dad (Jan 2025), but I’ve learned that everything has a reason so its important to keep moving forward. My journey through grief, after losing my wife Teri to cancer, has taught me to fight for what matters. I dive deep into this on this blog if you’re curious.
Patience: I need to remind myself every day that life isn’t a sprint; it’s more like a marathon. I believe in slowing down and taking time for what truly matters. Whether that’s relationships, rest, or figuring out how to help my colleagues fix their computers.

Current Goals:

Meet you in person. Preferably over dinner? Bonus points if Mayo can meet you too. He is so cute.
Read the bible cover to cover. 2026 should be the year to make it happen.
Move into a part time consultant or board of directors role by Age 45.
Publish a book on Amazon on "The Story of Terwin" (stuff from this blog).
Qualify for the Ironman World Championship by Age 50.
Qualify for the Boston Marathon by Age 50.

What I don't want to do

Buy my own place to live. I really like where I am now (Irvine, Woodbridge) and am OK renting for a long time.
Use online dating apps. It's a lot of work! I did meet Teri through eHarmony, so I'm not against them. Just not right now. This page is way better.
Swim. Out of all the fitness stuff I do, this one has always been the most difficult. So it's on the top of my list to focus on. But I know it's so good for you and if I ever want to be a serious triathlete, I need to get in the pool.

What I’m Looking For:

Someone who is Christian, cute, and values deep, meaningful connections.
Someone who appreciates honest, transparent communication and isn’t afraid to share, just like I’m doing right here.
Someone who loves cute dogs because my dog, Mayo, and I come as a package deal :)
Someone who would appreciate the time I put into this (since it saves you time if I’m not what you’re looking for).
Someone who likes to have fun and get out of their comfort zone. I went on a cruise recently and sang Karaoke with someone I just met.

What I’m NOT Looking For:

If you’re known for being overly anxious or constantly critical about others. We may not be a good fit.
If you’re in a relationship or just got out of one. I totally get that life can be better when we are with someone. I feel like I have grown tremendously during this time of singleness. I hope you can take some time for yourself before jumping back in!
If you’re way too busy or stressed to invest in a relationship. Let’s be real, building something meaningful takes time and commitment. After being married for 3.5 years, I think it's totally worth it!

Fun Facts:

Personal Projects: When I’m not working or training, I run the Muir Rock podcast and this blog, where I share my thoughts on life, loss, and everything in between. I'm also working on a book that contains a lot of the content from the blog.
Athletic Side: I’ve completed over 100 races (triathlons, marathons, you name it) and don’t plan on slowing down. Maybe I'll cut back a bit if I get into a relationship. If you’re into fitness, we’ll have plenty to talk about. I also have a tandem bike we can use :)
Balance: Outside of work, mountain biking, the idea of traveling, teaching yoga sculpt, and collecting cute stuff, I’m based in Irvine, where I’m balancing a full professional life with my hobbies, training, and plenty of quality time with Mayo.
Communication: Facebook Messenger is my favorite way to chat (just add me as a Friend) but I’m totally down for in-person meetups or phone calls too.

References:

Available upon request. From people who promise they’re unbiased, even if they might get a referral fee or fancy dinner if we get married.

If you made it till the end and any of this resonates with you, please send me a message and let’s see where this goes! If you think this is crazy but you still made it to the end, I still want to hear from you.
