First things first: I am married and poly. If that is a deal-breaker, move on.

I moved to Seattle from the east coast a few years ago. I absolutely love the quirky, intellectual vibe that this town emits. People aren't afraid to care about things, and act silly! That said, there's much more of the world that I'd like to see, and would eventually like a partner and companion to explore with me. An early lesson I learned after moving out here is that avalanches are a legitimate concern when hiking through Cascades as opposed to mountains out east. They are awe-inspiring, but I never want to see one up close again!

My passions include activism, traveling, hiking, and appreciating how freaking amazing the world is. If you're looking for anything more than short-term dating, you should be socially/politically active. I get frustrated with people who aren't willing to fight in their own way to create a better tomorrow.

I quit my corporate office job last month to start a workers' co-op video game company with friends.

I'm straddling the line between INFP and ENFP. I love socializing, but definitely need recharge time afterwards.

One interesting thing about me is that if a person is important, I associate a color with them. This has turned into a fun game for many a friend.

Learning to appreciate how beautiful the world is, and leaving it a bit better than before I was here.

Photography, digital art, political philosophy, being a cat whisperer, staying active, and traveling.

My eyes.

Movies: Django Unchained, Prometheus! (I want to go on magical, misanthropic adventures across the galaxy with Michael Fassbender-bot), Sin Nombre, La Dolce Vita, 8 1/2, Flame & Citron

Music: Mariachi El Bronx, Justice, Asa, Skrillex, The XX, Aloe Blacc, Maria McKee... there's a long, varied list.

TV: Anything with Stephen Colbert; particularly Strangers With Candy, Battlestar Gallactica (I could watch it over and over, love the characters), Rome, just getting into Game of Thrones.

Food: Sushi, Thai, Mexican, Indian... to be honest, pretty much anything :)

Books: Homage to Catalonia - George Orwell. Debt: the First 5000 Years - David Graeber. I had a Twitter conversation with him in which we riffed on Walt Disney's life as an allegory for the inherent contradiction of utopian futurism in a capitalist economic system. If you understand why this made my week, we will get along quite well. Violence - Slavoj Zizek. Fateful Triangle - Noam Chomsky. I've just started Kurzweil's new book on artificial intelligence, and holy cow is it interesting so far.

A computer, my camera, nature, friends, and something to read. I had a fedora as my sixth item, but my wife read my profile and said fedoras "suggest a certain type of man who spends far too much time on Reddit, which you aren't." I just think they look cool.

Privilege. How to fix the world's problems. How lucky I am to be in Seattle right now, and what I want to do next.

I really like variety, so it's hard to say. Best bet is hanging out at a bar with friends. Lately my Fridays nights have been spent trying to get a new business off the ground.

I did the Fremont Solstice Parade on foot last year. It was amazing!

You're empathetic, a good cuddler, love life, and want to live it to fullest!

I tend to fall for smart, creative, free-thinking types. If you are the aforementioned and curvy (thick, toned thighs and a nice butt drive me wild), I will likely be very into you.

I'm always up for making new friends as well!
