Life just seems to be getting better right now. I have a core group of friends I really enjoy being around. I finally think I know enough to effect change in the world. I spend half of my days in San Francisco and the rest near Stanford for work. But I have enough free time to relax during the week and party hard on the weekends.

I spent the last year launching a startup and now I'm busy watching it grow. So I have a have flexible hours and I'm starting to appreciate a life of leisure.

I studied operations research at Stanford and mechanical engineering at Cal Poly. I spent the last eight years of my life in product design for power equipment, laptops, cell phones, and medical devices. As a teenager I tested video games for SEGA of America.

Product design, juggling, singing random song lyrics. Climbing (I'm a decent 5.10a trad climber), swimming (I swam a 50 free in 25.3 seconds) and mountain biking.

When I was ten I read a book on how to operate just about anything, so I set out to ride, sail, surf, climb, ski, bike and/or fly anything and everything I could get my hands on. I flew small planes and scuba dove as a teenager. In college I sailed and played rugby. Now I enjoy mountain biking, climbing, and hiking. Next on the list is speed flying a paraglider and my commercial pilot's license.

To those that know me I come off as care-free, compassionate, and jovial. I'm not one to make a spectacle of myself, but I am a socialite. I enjoy throwing a party and would enjoy finding this quality in a significant other.

When is a microbrewery no longer micro?
How one goes about domesticating wild animals. I kinda want a marmot for a pet.
How serendipitous life is and how many doors are actually open to us as individuals in a free society.
How restrictionist policies ward off calamitous anarchy scenarios, while placing limits on libertarian free-market principals.

Out for a beer with friends, at home reading a book, or out to see an independent film.

I've never had cable TV.

I have the most respect for independent, self-actualizing women that are honest and direct. You should know what you want out of life and be seeking it out. I appreciate a little attitude and a lot of culture in a woman. I am especially captivated by lawyers, consultants, artists/fashion designers, and economist. Or simply those with sapiosexual tendencies.

If any of this resonates with you let me know. We can meet for coffee, to climb, hike, whatever. Make me an offer.
