I am fun and down to earth. I am an Engineer and enjoy working for a medical company. I have been out here in California for a number of years and love the ocean and hiking. I like animals and my house seems to always have a dog or some other pet. I like beagles. But animals that are out in nature and can be seen from a window, while camping or from a boat are better off than keeping them in a cage. I love hiking because it allows me to explore.

I have a house in Sunnyvale that has a garden and a little forest in the backyard. Many animals come and go all year round. I work as a medical engineer and I invent medical devices that go into one's heart. I can tell you more about that if you are interested. I am busy with my projects and friends. But will always have time for the right person.

I really love water sports and anything to do with water if it is in a river, lake, or ocean is always fun. I also like to lean about early American history. Cooking is fun for me and it can make life special.

I am fun to be around and my good humor keeps everyone going. Not that everything is a joke but it is important to enjoy things. Life is not so hard if everything is enjoying it. If you love life, life will love you back and that is important.

I liked Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood (a post-apocalyptic world in a Georg Orwell type if visionary fiction) and just finished Empire of the Summer Moon about the rise and fall of the Comanche Indians by S. C. Gwynne. I like non-fiction but I will read some science fiction.

Solving the worlds problems. Of course it is easier to think about solving them than actually solving them.
