I was born in Northern California.
I grew up in Pennsylvania.
I came to New York to study theatre.

I'm NOT going to say that I'm well-traveled (both in distance and experience), that I'm charming, witty, charismatic, a thinker, have a nice speaking/singing voice, I'm athletic, that I have pretty good moves (for a white boy), I am creative, have an natural exuberance, care about my fellow human beings...

I'll let you decide what you think if we get a chance to know one another.

Aspiring. To be a writer. To be an actor. To be the best I can. Taking in the nuances of the human condition. I strive to learn as much as possible in this short span of time.

I've been working in the food/wine/cocktail business for several years.

Analysis. Communication. Cocktail creating. Pithy remarks. Athletics. Putting it into extra gear when necessary.

Trying to make the lives of those around me better is very important.

Humility.

Shaved head. Fair-skinned. Ginger eyebrows. Angular features. Muscular build. Frenetic energy. Well intentioned (most of the time).

Food options, my two cats, sex, love, humor, the will to live.
Music and exercise are the next tier down.
...and of course family and friends.
I know, that's more like 10.

Here are six things I could do without:

Costume glasses and facial hair from antiquity (for theatrical characters, it's permissible)
The abundance of winged creatures or pedestrian script in the form of tattoos.
Stopping in the middle of the sidewalk to address a text message.
Rapping aloud in an elevator.
Flaky folks.
Divas (both genders equally).

What I can absorb and trying not to miss much.
How I can contribute to world.
Trying to unlock the mysteries of the human condition.

...women.

Probably working. Ideal Friday, if I am off, I'd try a new restaurant followed by intimacy with the one I love.

I'd consider myself gregarious with a shy side.

If you are an adult, intelligent, open-minded, have a sweet side, own a good sense of humor...and are sexy; I would love to meet you. Possessing the first five of these qualities is 90% of the sixth.
