I am funny, artistic, and open minded.

After working as an editor in the publishing field for nearly a quarter century (gulp!), I took the grand leap into digital media this year. After enduring a momentary bout of culture shock (hey, I still love ink on paper) I soon grew to enjoy the immediacy of Internet communications.

It also seemed like exactly the right thing to do. I have been a majority partner in a company that specializes in publishing magazines for drummers and percussionists for the past 20 years and, like most other magazine publishers, recognized the need to diversify our business plan. Now I blog every day, write HTML, manage message boards, shoot and edit videos, plan concerts and expos, and just about anything else that might be of interest to those among us who like to hit things with sticks and/or hands.

Living simply, drumming, writing, editing, cooking, kissing, listening, communicating, backgammon, liars dice, entertaining, throwing parties, foot massages, being funny (but not necessarily joke telling), spontaneity, daydreaming, and apparently writing lists.

My shaved head and boisterous laugh.

Far too many to list. We’ll talk.

Food
Water
Air
Sleep
Hope
Love ... of course, there’s much more

The future.

If I’m not playing drums somewhere around the Bay Area, I love spending quality time with a loved one, a leisurely dinner at a nice restaurant, watching a movie, attending the theater, hearing blues in a dive bar, playing pool, or just chilling at home.

I used to be a hippie. There, I said it.

... you are looking for a fun guy who has a great sense of humor, conscience, and deep capacity for love.
