My friends would describe me as a sensitive, nurturing, open, intelligent, and masculine guy with a certain je ne sais quoi.

Discovery of who I am and where I am going is very important to me. In terms of who I am, my Cuban parents raised me here in New York, and I have been able to trace my lineage back to Spain and Russia. I have a down to earth approach to life, and value my ability to intuit people and navigate situations instinctively. I view life overall as an exploration, informed by both spiritual development and taking mindful actions to help others. I enjoy a healthy, balanced life of laughter, adventure, and responsibility.

I am a former nursery and junior high school teacher, making a transition towards working in social services and helping others in a positive way.

spontaneity like jumping into a friend’s car last minute for a day trip, envisioning a beautiful, comfortable, and nurturing home, inciting riots of laughter when they are badly needed, and listening compassionately. I also have great rhythm.

are my blinding good looks of course! Seriously though, I think people notice my thoughtfulness and sincerity, followed by my down to earth, fun-loving persona!

My eyes too.

I love pretty much any food, but the ambience of the place is most important.

I love all music with the exception of hip-hop. I tend to get drawn to stuff like Requiem, Zeppelin, and The Doors. I’m really into Latin Jazz, folkloric Afro-Cuban, house, and pretty much anything that you can dance to.

I love to read books in Spanish, and am recently tackling translations of “The People’s History of the United States,” and “War and Peace.” I also like epic Spanish lit, such as Julio Cotazar’s “Rayuela.”

I find provocative films with social commentary very satisfying. Some examples are Catch 22, Full Metal Jacket, and Dr. Strangelove. Almodovar is one my favorite directors.

How to market my business to generate revenue. Planning trips to explore Appalachia, the Almafi Coast, and learn more about my Russian and Spanish roots.

I like to hang out with friends, go out to dinner, or sometimes just chill at home reading a good book.

On an atypical Friday night, I aspire to have a romantic dinner overlooking the gorgeous coast of Galicia, Spain in late spring.

One of the most important things that I have learned from my last relationship is that love is as much about the timing as anything else, and that lasting love requires my willingness to accept you as you are, and myself as I am.

you are down to earth and a great communicator. Emotional availability is also very important to me.

I believe chivalry and romance are still alive and kicking today, while at the same time I respect equality in a relationship. I welcome a woman who asserts herself and knows what she wants. Sense of humor, valuing spiritual growth, and willingness to laugh at her self are major turn-ons for me.
