Hard worker that has both feet on the ground. Serious about my chosen profession, but not a workaholic. I'll put in the extra hours/days/week to meet a deadline, but take off for 3 weeks the day after.

I love travelling, exploring, learning, cooking] and enjoying the simple things. Writer, photographer, diver, mad scientist, engineer, tinkerer.

My travel luggage is always ready. Avid sun seeker / scuba diver / photographer / videographer. Daytrips / weekendtrips. I like a warm climate. Lazy summer evenings spent charring something on the bbq. Drive up to santa cruz for ice cream , go to Carmel for a walk on the beach. Forget the hustle and bustle. Lets go to sausalito and have lunch at the garage. 'Roughing it' in the woods ? No thanks, pass me that Club Med / Sandals / Four seasons brochure please, and get me the phone number of my travel agent.

I come with no 'luggage' and an open mind. I'm a low maintenance guy, khakis , chinos and a nice shirt, or polo or hawaiian shirt, shorts and flipflops on my off-time. Like the aussies say : no worries.

I mostly spend my working time figuring out new electronics to store more data on those spinning platters in computers.
My off-time is shared between enjoying california, writing technical books and articles, cooking (i like charring some bovine or avian meat), watching good movies.

Fixing stuff: electronics, computers, food ...
Enjoying the oceanside both topside and underwater. I'm an avid scubadiver. I take of mulitple weeks a year to do some serious diving (3..4 dives a day and i'll do the nightdive as well.) I combine my other hobbies of photography and videography with my passion for travel.

I'm your average joe... but i know where all the good restaurants are.

Music : Anything goes as long as its got a tune and it makes me feel good.
Books : scifi / comedy / science and technology. Either fun stuff or practical stuff.
Tv/movies : Fun / action / comedy movies.

Some people say the glass is half full, other people may say it's half empty. I keep wondering what's in it... and who will fill it when it does get empty.

Home. Taking a break from the week. Thinking about the weekend and what to do. So many choices.

I don't like the taste of alcohol but i like the smell ...

You have a glass with something interesting in it.
