42 yr old divorced father of two. Born and raised in Oakland(Go Raiders).

Doing my best to be a good dad to my two small kids.

When I don't have my kids(50%), I enjoy watching and playing sports, going for walks in my new neighborhood, heading out for dinner & drinks with friends, co-workers and family.

Making my friends laugh, cooking and sarcasm.

I was a cook for 12 years, before moving to a different career.

Bald-Head and prominent eye-brows. I was the model for Ernie.

Favorite Book: The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen, closely followed by Lord of the Rings(I'm a geek, what can I say).
Movie: The Hunt for Red October.
TV: Game of Thrones, Shameless, Dexter, The League.
Music: Most everything except hard-core Rap or Country. Favorite is Alternative(or original New Wave - Joy Division, Roxy Music, Violent Femmes, The Cure, etc...)
Food: I'll try most anything once, but nothing can compete with my mom's homemade Mexican food.

1 - Coffee. 2 - A car. 3 - A computer. 4 - Baseball mitt and ball.
5 - A football. 6 - Friday lunch and drinks with my co-workers at Pete's Tavern in SOMA.

What I can do to make sure my kids grow up feeling loved, self-confident and kind.
When I might be ready to start dating again(was married for 13 years).

Every other Friday I'm hanging with my kids. The others either after-work cocktails with co-workers, or dinner + drinks with my sister and brother.

I'm not as angry/mean as I look...

You are at all interested in meeting a normal, self-confident, non-hipster who knows who he is and is completely comfortable being himself. To quote my old friend Popeye: "I am what I am and that's all that I am."

Don't contact me if you're looking for a 'project' boyfriend, a model-type, or someone who takes more time to get ready than you.
