Most people would say I'm very focused and ambitious. I work hard at everything that I do, and constantly expect more from myself than I'm currently giving. Though I keep pretty busy, I always find time for the people and things that are important to me. I tend to be a pretty laid back kind of guy. I have better things to do than deal with drama--mine, yours or anyone else's. I'd rather spend my having new experiences--the more random, the better--with people who add something special to my life. I'm committed to living life to the fullest because I only get one shot to do it right. I would have to say I'm passionate about all aspects of arts and culture. I love theater, books, design, movies, and music. I also enjoy cooking and often spend evenings trying new recipes, especially those from other cultures. Which brings me to another real passion--travel--the more spontaneous the better. The perfect guy for me would be equally as excited about staying home to cook dinner, cuddle up, and watch a movie with me as he would be taking off for a last-minute weekend roadtrip. Finally, the best way to catch my attention is to be able to carry on an intelligent conversation. We'll get along well if you have your own opinions--even if they differ from mine--and you are willing to stand up for them. If there's anything else you want to know, don't be shy, just ask. I tend to be a pretty open book.

For the foreseeable future, I'm the purchasing manager for a small company in downtown San Francisco. I buy fine china and luxury linens for hotels and restaurants in Northern California and Hawaii. It's a great 8 to 4:30 job that leaves me plenty of time to have a life outside of work. I'm loving life in San Francisco. I worked really hard to make sure this is where I ended up after college, and I can't think of anywhere I would rather be. I'm also beginning to explore options for grad school. My dream job is to be a college professor one day.

...what's next. There are so many things I want to accomplish and one life is such a short time span with which to work. I'm constantly thinking about what I need/want to do next, so sometimes I need someone to remind me to take time to enjoy what's happening right now.

...likely to be doing just about anything. Some nights I like to go out full force in the Castro. Other nights I curl up on the couch with my roommate and watch a movie. Low key is always good with me, so dinner with friends, watching a play, grabbing a drink at a cozy bar. I would also love to be in my car road tripping to some fun place to spend the weekend.
