I am one part cautious, two parts curious, and all shoddy chemist.
My Self-Summary
I'm a pretty easy-going guy who likes to
play guitar (poorly),
watch movies (odd
ones) and
solve crosswords (obsessively).
I have an awesome teenage son who actually thinks his dad is pretty
cool ... for now.
I am often shy and reserved, but I also do perform with a variety
show in Spokane. I love being on stage. It is quite a rush. I enjoy
all types of music (except country, sorry) and like to collect
counter-culture art.
I hate mowing the lawn. I enjoy
running. I am always early. I am not a
pack rat. I can often be caught
dancing if the conditions are just
right. And I'll pretty much try anything once.
What I’m doing with my life
I own a home in Spokane Valley and work in the computer industry,
although I am not a geek. It's probably not my ideal career at the
moment, but I've been doing it forever and it pays the bills. I
would eventually like to get into another line of business, but I
am not exactly sure what it would be yet.
I am also passionate about
gay rights and serve on the board of
directors for the INBA Outreach. We raise money and give
scholarships to local students who are active in the gay community.
I'm a big fan of activism.
I’m really good at
I'm really good at not tooting my own horn ... so you'll have to
find out for yourself.
The first things people usually notice about me
... is that I'm shy. But I'm not. Well, maybe a little at first.

The six things I could never do without
1) Alone time
2) The White House Grill
3) B-movies
4) Tweezers
5) Sugar-free Gum
6) My family and friends
I spend a lot of time thinking about
writing a movie script. But, who doesn't?
On a typical Friday night I am
out with friends.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
is that I have no secrets. So ask me anything.
