I'm a biracial Puerto Rican and Afr. American guy who is funny and enjoys the performing arts and most things that make people smile (i.e. funny stories, good music, small dogs hahaha). I can be shy on your first impression but I open up once we talk more. I'm originally from the middle-of-nowhere in Virginia, went to college in New England; lived in Miami for a year, and now find myself here in DC.

I do Crossfit to keep me big and strong and also because it keeps me nice and butch haha. For the record, I don't believe in that whole masc/fem gender role ideology so don't expect me to fit into it. I power clean 135lbs in pink shorts soooo....

I'm looking to make friends, date, and find a partner in DC! Feel free to say hi!

Transitioning from being a full-time artist to being a young professional with a personality who believes in colors outside of black, white, grey, and khakis (blame it on the 305)
