I'm originally from Switzerland (Zurich) and have lived in California for over ten years now. I love to be physical, believe in living a healthy and balanced life, like tatoos, and am drawn to "extreme sports", with motorcycle racing being one of my favorite vices. Anyone out there share the need for speed?

As I recently graduated, my focus is currently on building my business. It is scary and fun at the same time.

I'm really good at helping others through my line of work. I try to stay physically fit and enjoy anything physical such as working out, hiking, white water rafting, you name it... I also try and focus on keeping myself balanced with meditation, getting out into nature, etc.

Clean cut, I'm Swiss after all :) Most people comment on my smile. I have a tendency to say things how they are, so I'm a pretty straight shooter. I have a big heart and tend to carry my heart on my sleeve.

I love to read fantasy and sci-fi... Tolkien with Lord of the Rings is a classic of course, LOVE Patrick Rothfuss with Name of the Wind, Terry Goodkind, etc.

With movies I enjoy foreign films, some hollywood (they're getting worse every year - I swear they ran out of ideas and screen writers... seems a trend with substituting a good story and good acting for computer animation). Some all time favorites are Blade Runner, Pulp Fiction, Heat, Léon, Nikita (original w/ Jean Reno), Amelie, True Romance, Matrix, Silence of the Lambs, The big Lebowski, Fight Club, History X, Angel Heart...

Food wise I'm not too picky, as long as it's good :) I love to cook and I prefer organic and fresh ingredients - eating healthy is important to me. I love food and enjoy most cuisines. Trying new restaurants is always fun.

Music- What can I say, I used to play guitar in a trash metal band - and yes, I did have long hair :) I still love to listen to all the old metal/rock stuff but listen more to progressive metal such as Dream Theater, Symphony X, as of late. Of course I enjoy most rock, jazz, classical, 80's, alternative, some electronic, new age, etc. Not one for rap or much country other than the occasional exception ;)

How to change my life and that of others to the better. I'm always striving to learn and tend to always have my head in a book somewhere. For me life is about growing, being it personally, professionally, or spiritually.

Saving the world, Spending time with friends, or simply kicking back at home

I'm a little bit of a clean freak. My home is always well taken care of. No OCD or such, but it is important for me to have a harmonious home environment as it is a place for me to recharge my batteries.

You're cute, intelligent, like to be physical, are passionate, are open to new experiences, believe in creating meaningful relationships, or simply want to meet someone new for a chat over some coffee/tea.
