I really like reading and anything that gets me outdoors--love hiking/backpacking/camping, kayaking, running, amateur snowboarder/mtn biker.

I'm super optimistic, and I never worry. I've lived in a lot of different places and am good at adapting and being content. Also, I'm not afraid.

I really appreciate an open minded, laid back approach to life. I'd say sense of humor, but everyone thinks they have a good sense of humor so self-selection there is kind of pointless. Good conversation and physical fitness are more important than just about any other criteria.

If your definition of success is financial, you are not succeeding, amigo.

I'm taking a year off to do things I love. Every six or seven years. A literal sabbatical.

quite a few different things. I'm not very good at doing things I'm not good at--would rather avoid those.

Kohelet (Shlomo haMelech); The Waves (Virginia Woolf); The Golden Bough (J G Frazer); Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow; Arrested Development; Emancipator...wait. 'Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food'? That's totally a non sequitur.

things. It's kind of my default setting.

at home. Fridays are low key, recharging time. Almost no one is at his best immediately after a long week.
