I'm an easygoing guy who is a bit on the geeky side. I'm looking for new friends, true love, or just a good time.

I love to cook, watch movies, and just hang out. I enjoy a wide variety of things in life. I'm just as happy spending an evening at the park, at the movies, good old fashioned conversation, playing a board game, or cooking a meal for a few friends. I like to dabble in everything and always enjoy trying new things. I've brewed my own beer, cured bacon and corned beef, made soap using lye, traveled a bit, and countless other curious things. It's the little things in life that make things interesting.

I am simultaneously a futurist and old fashioned. I work with electronics for a living, but I collect and shave with antique razors. My watch is completely mechanical, but at the same time I follow the latest high tech gadgetry. I believe that chivalry is not dead, but is only adapting to modern sensibilities.

I'm an engineer working for a big company at the moment, but my long term goal is to own my own business.

I like to think I'm an excellent cook, but I suppose that conclusion is for others to determine.

I love all sorts of movies and tv. Lately I've been watching a lot of science fiction and british comedy. Doctor Who and Red Dwarf of late. Anything by Pixar is excellent. The same goes for anything made by Hayao Miyazaki. A quick random selection from my movie library might find: Children of Men, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Idiocracy, Cowboy Bebop, The Fifth Element, Seven Years in Tibet, Das Boot, Lola Rennt.

I listen to some unusual music, mostly German industrial. Oomph!, Rammstein, Eisbrecher, and the like. There's always time for variety though. The Beatles, Clapton, random jazz, or a touch of Sinatra. Flogging Molly when I'm in that Irish pirate kind of mood. The Traveling Wilburys are always enjoyable (extra points if you know who they were.)

I love food in general. Thai, sushi, Indian, Italian, French. I enjoy learning to make both classic and exotic foods in my own kitchen. Yet there's nothing wrong with having a cheap pizza delivered.

Good food
Good drink
Good company
Netflix (hooray for instant downloads of obscure British comedy)
