I have committed myself to living my life hungry for exploring myself, the world, and the people around me. When I get stuck in a rut I dance, get funky to music, get lost in a movie, dive into a graphic novel, go camping to connect with nature, grow my mind with an audiobook or podcast; and always explore my world to discover new places, people, art, food, and entertainment. All to be continuously inspired.

I'm a Lindy Hopper, I love dancing to early 20's and 30's Jazz music. I love how expressive swing music and swing dancing is. One of my favorite songs is Vote For Mr. Rhythm by Chick Webb and Ella Fitzgerald. I also love Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, and many more great jazz legends form the early jazz era.

I love working with people. People inspire me. I meet the most interesting and fascinating people everyday. I never want to stop being inspired, and I want to share this life of exploration with someone special.

I am looking for a partner in life. Someone to explore the world, our ourselves, and all the possibilities around us together.

I challenge myself to do or learn something new everyday, to have a great conversations with someone I just met, and to be open to the possibilities life presents everyday. It's so easy to let life go by on automatic. So no matter what happens during a day, if I have learned something, done something, or met someone new, I feel I've had a good day.

Ok, so that's not exactly six, but you get the idea.

Our world, and the places I want to explore and experience. Culture, technology, innovation, entrepreneurship. Our future. Human freedom and individual liberty. Living debt free.

Relaxing at home "reading", or watching Netflix. My "Friday" is usually mid week and I'm out having great beer with friends or out Lindy Hopping (swing dancing).

I'm very open, just ask. I don't hold back.

Just like learning to dance, the first step is always the hardest. Shoot me an email if you would like to step out onto the dance floor of life and try something new with me. You will never have to apologize for missing a step.
