I am basically a good natured and agreeable guy. Although I do like to have some time to myself, I am a present and affectionate partner. I don’t feel the nagging pressure to rush into and lock down a relationship like some may people my age. But ultimately I would like to find and commit to a life-partner. I know that in the long run, for me, sharing life’s experiences will be more gratifying.

I have spent most of my life In the Rockies and never thought I would be able to stay away from the mountains. But after getting to know the Bay Area and all (well, not all yet) of its wonderful geographical and cultural diversity, I wonder if I could ever pull myself away. Well, I probably could. But SF is a pretty great departure point for taking off to see the rest of this awesome planet we live on.

Living here has turned me into a bona fide trail runner. I know I will never lose an appreciation for the fact that within 10 miles of the Financial District I can be scrambling along rocky cliffs overlooking the Pacific, cruising along, deep down in wet mossy redwood canopied canyons or sweating over scraggly dry sun scorched hillsides and crossing paths with rattle snakes, bobcats, coyotes, falcons, turkey vultures, California king snakes…..

I enjoy exploring even the most mundane elements of my surrounding and am very happy to step off the beaten path during my travels. That said, I have a long list of more popular destinations to hit. (Not really a list maker but you know what I mean)...It would be nice to find a partner to share all of my future adventures with, and with whom to create my future memories.

A lot of trail running. Reading (mostly) non-fiction. Embarrassing that cold wet but beautiful weather we have been having in the Bay Area lately

Getting better and better.....

I can wiggle my ears independently. Actually people don't typically notice that until I show them.

Fiction that can profoundly bring me into the place they are describing.
Non fiction books that are clear concise, but entertaining and evocative without trying to be too heady for the sake of the authors ego or to just be intelegent – this happens a lot in my field of work.

Music – I am open to new music discoveries. I mostly listen to music that would be lumped into the ambiguously defined genre of Indie-rock.

Food - Anything I can eat outside, in the sun, with my hands, sitting on a picnic blanket. But crammed in at a table of strangers in a side alley at some locals-only market that I am at because I took a wrong turn while wandering a foreign city and ordering what ever the hell it is that the guy next to me is eating (because there are no menus and no English)…. That also works for me.

How amazing the Bay Area is and, paradoxically , how I want to go see everything else in the world

I am lucky enough to have Friday afternoons off from work. So I usually spent the afternoon doing something outdoors, which leaves me pretty content to stay home and relax in the evening. But I like to go out also.

That I want to be able to be able to answer questions like this with ease and grace among any audience.

You know you are my destiny. Just kidding. If you would like to sit down and have a conversation.
