I'm a kind, thoughtful, funny, curious guy. I like long, tangential conversations about life, art, experiences and ideas. Feeding both sides of my brain is an imperative I satisfy with music and mechanics, the abstract and the tactile.

I enjoy art of all kinds and the conversations it generates. I'm a foodie from A to Z and am always up for a new spot, an old favorite or a recipe/experiment at home. I like to stay abreast of world and local politics and events.

Travel; local, domestic and foreign is something I love but don't ever seem to do enough of.

I'm a self-employed entrepreneur which means I'm always at work and on vacation simultaneously; a condition which suits me. I have all the time in the world to focus on what's important to me.

Appreciating how good I have it.

Being a friend.

Playing music.

Restoring vintage motorcycles.

Backing a trailer for some reason.

I'm a good listener, 'pretty good talker.

Appreciating people, places and things for what they are.

I'm friendly and pay attention to what they are saying, (as opposed to what I'm going to say next; 'know what I mean?)

A short list:

Vonnegut, Wim Wenders, MadMen, the song I'm currently playing and Thai...no wait, Mexican! Uh, Italian? Chinese?

(All answers subject to change without notice.)

The Golden Ratio; open, heartfelt communication; the possibility of love; growth and change; music; motorcycles.

(This list reflects just how good life is; everything listed is a luxury!)

All the great people I've been blessed to know and where they might be now.

My next gig.

Why something that's not working isn't working and what I need to do to get it working again.

Early: Working out while listening to KUOW.

The Shank of the Evening: Playing a show, checking out a show, meeting friends for drinks and a gnosh.

Late: Grabbing a nightcap and/or a bite at a late happy hour spot.

Can be pried out of me face to face.

You're the kind of woman who makes other men wonder what you see in me and makes other women wish they'd seen it first.
