Some of the best conversations start with 'Hello.' So, hello there, I would like to introduce you to well, myself.

A little about me:

I teach martial arts. I am passionate about people. I plan on climbing a mountain and backpacking across New Zealand. I love being outside in the sunshine, climbing hills and scrambling up goat trails. I sculpt, paint, and make costumes. I bake a mean batch of pumpkin spice cookies. I cut my gramma's hair (and my own). I enjoy theatre and performing arts. I frequent museums and galleries. Sometimes when wandering we find the most interesting paths and tavels. I write poetry and fiction. I believe in manners and am family oriented. I like a wide array of music from blue grass to crunk.

I'm really looking for someone who can be my -sweetheart-. A gentleman who knows how to treat a woman like a lady and vice versa. Ultimately this person would be my best friend, my confidant, my partner in crime.

Also, I tend to be a bit of a nerd. I like Star Trek, making fun of hobos/zombies/poorly written vampire pulp, designing and writing websites, video games, reading and making comics and arguing about pretty much anything.

Being a bureaucrat by day, a martial arts super hero by night!

Writing poetry, apparently. Smiling, laughing, noticing the small things.

My eyes and my smile.
