I spent 9 years in college studying Physiology. 2 degrees later, I turned my back on it all and got a job in Silicon Valley. I've never looked back. Life is funny in the directions it takes you.

One constant in my life is that I really enjoy being active. I currently practice Aikido. I also swim and just started getting on my road bike again. I rock climb (although not as much as I used to.) I snowboard, rollerblade, climb trees and will run (for fund raisers typically - I'm not a huge fan of running).

I love to cook. Actually, I love to eat and cooking is one way I manage my habit. I like exploring new recipes and just experimenting in the kitchen. The journey is half the fun and eating the result is sometimes the other half (when the result is edible).

Lastly, I'm a 1/2 time dad to two awesome kiddos. I'm not going to hide that fact. If you've read this far and that part scares you, it makes me sad, but I suppose you're not the one for me. My kids are a big part of my life, but I also know I need to have my own life outside of them. That's why I'm here!

I work in Silicon Valley. I cook most nights. I workout every chance I get. I'm a 1/2 time dad to two great kids. I listen to a lot of NPR (listener member). I live to be active.

Finding ways to get things done.

Princess Bride (duh). Tampopo. Eat, Drink, Man, Woman. Studio Ghibli movies. Jason Bourne series (not the latest one). Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Aliens.

Les Miserables (musical and movie). Wicked. Phantom of the Opera.

Current top 40 (thanks to my daughter), disco, funk, rock, soundtracks, classical, just about anything, but it's mostly passive and not active listening.

Prime rib. Wok veggies. Sushi/sashimi. Ramen. Pho. Fuji apples. Blood Oranges. Roast duck. Dim sum. Lambsicles.

Pinky: "What are we doing tomorrow night?"
Brain: "The same thing we do every night Pinky - try to take over the world!"

If you didn't get that reference, then I suppose I spend alot of time thinking about what I should put here...

Cooking dinner with my kids and catching up on the week or I'll be working out (when I don't have them). I'm looking to add date night to that list :).

I'm actually 5'5". Scary, init?

You're looking for a best friend. Someone to share in life's ups, downs, the exciting, and the mundane. You like waking up early on weekends to go do something active and fun.
