On a recent film shoot, one of my actors was trying to get to know me and after an extensive conversation/inquisition, she announced her verdict: "You're a nerd, aren't you?!" She had me pegged. It's true.

No matter how many skinny jeans I buy or how many times I go to the gym, I still retain the essence of my high school self - the orchestra dork, the debate team captain, the guy who made amazing mix tapes. I think that part of myself is much more pronounced than my gayness. I did manage to adapt to gay culture in my twenties - going to bars, speaking the parlance, summering with the gay clique in Rehoboth Beach (I'm from the mid-Atlantic), but nowadays I'm more low key. For better or for worse, I've lost my gay clique and I'm likely to drive to the San Gabriel Valley for authentic Chinese food, play a board game, read The New Republic, or attend a movie screening. I watch a lot of movies.

I believe the journey is the destination and I'm looking for someone to share that journey with me. I've been in several long term relationships and what I've learned is that the quality I value most is having a big heart.

As a screenwriter of film and television, I keep my mind open to creative inspiration any time, any place. I seek out new experiences and like learning about people outside of my fiefdom.

my friends - they're very important to me.

being happy.

out with friends, trying out a new recipe or at home with a movie. I'm very seldom at the boy bars - been there, done that.

Okay, the more interesting question is what happens on an atypical weekend. Recently, it was the Woodlake Rodeo, followed by ditching quidditch practice in order to rehearse Machine Project's production of Tragedy on the Sea Nymph - a operetta starring an all-dog cast.

again, you should find this one out in person.

you wanna say hello for any reason. :) I'm a sucker for answering these emails.
