Sooo where to begin? Well, I'm definitely NOT a hipster! The 80s style sunglasses really annoy me lol! - That said, clearly I don't live in the Mission :P

Like most in SF, I'm a transplant: I grew up in N.Va/dc and moved here nearly 3 yrs ago and love it :D

Ok so I get that everyone and their mother on here says they love to travel. Wait, why is your mother on here with you? That's weird. Ok off track already! No, but seriously -- I hear the laments like "who doesn't like to eat good food and travel? Be more original!" Well - in this case I am just upping the ante: How many people do you know who worked for a major airline during college and loved going to the airport on days off, looking at the departure monitor, picking a city, and just going? Yeah didn't think that was too common lol...

Now I have top tier status on both American and United - and being an airline nerd, I love flying somewhere new as much as actually exploring the destination. Who's heard of mileage runs? Yeah I do those too :P Flown way more than a million miles - wonder what the total will be?

Besides the travel (obsession haha), I'm outspoken on topics like socio-economic trends, renewable energy (clean coal, wtf is that? no such thing!) and politics. On that last subject, let's just say I moved here knowing I would fit in better than where I grew up....

Oh and before I forget - here is some food for thought if you are a hipster: http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/11/17/how-to-live-without-irony/

Making travel plans. Communicating. Being funny. Being a superhero. Sarcasm. Driving really fast. Staying cool under pressure. Calling people out. Standing up for others. Questioning and challenging the status quo.

My linguistic skills and confident yet not overly cocky attitude. Maybe my eyes or arms?

Various books on sociology, history or science, Mexican, Italian and Chinese food, Sushi, Thai, etc, Dance/house music (xm 51 bpm fav radio station), rock/pop.

The future. My next destination. How to both make the world a better place and make money at the same time. Launching a viable tech startup. Oh, and girls ;)

Out somewhere with friends, relaxing myself if I'm beat from a long week, or flying to- or perhaps already in- a random new city somewhere on this sphere we call Earth.

I'm an only child, so I enjoy my independence... but also seek the company of others. Its an interesting dynamic.

You feel like saying hi :) I'm a nice guy!

p.s if you take your religion very seriously we likely won't click. I'm a proud and outspoken agnostic & Bill Maher's Religulous is one of my favorite movies. Likewise if you're a hardcore conservative. I moved to the Bay to get away from crazy stuck-in-the-past right wingers lol
