Born and raised on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. Always had a love for the water so it was only natural that I got into swimming, and well, let's just say I'm glad I did. Caught island fever - yes, it does exist - and went to college in California. Swimming paid the bills. Moved to Orange County to try out for the Olympic team, choked at US Trials, didn't make the team, and realized I needed to move on and start focusing more on a career outside of the pool.

Always had a fascination with the media as well so I did some interning at the local news stations aspiring to be a broadcast journalist, but it wasn't really for me. Somewhat fell into working at a PR agency in LA, after "retiring" from swimming, and I've been in the biz ever since!

Laid back guy here - get that from growing up in Hawaii. LOVE the outdoors. Gotta see the Pacific Ocean, or at least some body of water, at least once a week - creature of habbit from the islands, too. I get my drive as a professional and discipline from swimming competitively for 14 years. Mom's from Tahiti and dad was Scandinavian, so I'm an interesting mix. If you want to know more, just ask.

Professional that works hard, but appreciates and looks forward to enjoying the fruits of life. Big foodie here so love discovering a new restaurant and drinking a bottle of wine with good friends, or that special someone. Looking to travel more and see the world to experience aspects of other cultures as well.

Making people feel at ease. I deal with a bunch of different personalities on a daily basis, so I manage to find a way to get the conversation going. Been told I'm a good listener (see, I DO listen) and giving an unbiased but just perspective on things (yeah, I'm a Libra, too). And if you leave me alone at a party for a few minutes, I'm more than capable of holding my own.

My smile and my height.

For work, I spend most of my time reading the dailies, magazines, blogs related to the industries clients work in.

unwinding with friends around a firepit, dining at a nice restaurant albeit a hole in the wall or a bit more fancy, or staying in to rest up for saturday AM swim practice.

if there's a spark, I'm more than willing to tell him myself....

you're fun, fit, adventurous, professional, and don't mind getting your hair wet (literally and figuratively).
