Looked over the photos and still interested? Ok, read on...

I'm an avid hiker, backpacker, bicyclist, cook, and recently reconnected with skiing this past winter. I know my way around a golf course but let's call that a work in progress. I've been a bartender, lighting designer, bicycle race promoter... but I'm more than the sum of my collective parts. I love breakfast (in or out) on Sunday morning. Live theatre is the best and I don't go to it nearly enough. Being from the midwest I miss thunder storms and being "snowed in". I'll do almost anything to be outside... except camping. (If we meet I'll tell you the story of my last camping trip and you WILL understand)

I've been told I'm honest, easy to talk to, a great kisser, a terrible dancer, "too funny" (and all this time I thought I was just funny enough), calm under pressure, and that I look much better without the mustache. Oh, and that I'm tall. For some reason people feel compelled to tell me that.

I'm very active but I'm not a 24/7 "lifeaholic". I have a plan but I certainly don't have everything all figured out. If you're looking for that guy who has all the answers and is ready to sail off into the sunset... well, good luck with that. If you're looking for a guy who learns from his mistakes and tries every day to be a better person (and friend)... well then, read on.

Taking stock of the good things, finding the balance, and getting back to (and discovering) the things I love.

Organization (I've been told I could herd cats), cooking, and finding the best dive bar

Well I'm 6'4" so... probably my sense of humor.

Why is God Laughing? (Deepak Chopra), The Antidote, Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking (Oliver Burkeman, oh and don't judge a book (or me) by its title)

Pink Floyd, U2, Nirvana, Frank Zappa, Return to Forever, Hendrix, Dead Can Dance, Jeff Beck, 311

Pizza, stir fry, just about any "ethnic" cuisine, sushi, a perfectly cooked steak

Sean Connery as James Bond, The Third Man, Dan in Real Life, King of Hearts, The Limey, The Professional, A Sunday in Hell, Harold & Maude, Citizen Kane, Breakfast at Tiffany's

1) Tower of Power (horn section)
2) sunshine
3) humor
4) wine
5) the mountains
6) oxygen

How I got to this place and time and where I'm headed. Why it's not ok (here or anywhere) to admit that your life isn't picture perfect. Does anyone read this stuff or do they just look at the pictures? What would it be like to win the lottery? Oh and visiting Iceland someday. I'm just fascinated by it.

I was going to put one of those snappy "no such thing as typical" answers but... usually having a drink with some friends.

Until I get to know you...

Any of this sounds interesting and ultimately you want to meet. That is the point to all this isn't it?
