I majored in Fine Arts in college, paint on a regular basis, as well as a multitude of other artsy things from my current jewelry devotion. I used to work as a Visual Merchandiser at Pebble Beach, which was a great job, and nearly got ran over by Kevin Costner in a golf cart twice!

I have a wonderful urban family here in San Francisco that consists of my sisters, their SO's and a few other close friends. I can count on being somewhere with them on the weekend and having a great time, whether it's bowling, wine tasting, dancing or doing bad karaoke. My blood family is half Italian, half Deep Southern, all eccentric but completely lovable.

I read a lot of books - from Bridget Jones' Diary to World War Z, with an occasional biography and Jane Austen novel in between. I'm addicted to Project Runway, loved the new Battlestar Galactica, and really like good cowboy movies (Unforgiven, The Good Bad and the Ugly, most recently - Appaloosa) never mind schlocky movies such as Flash Gordon and Night of the Comet.

I like playing pool, I appreciate good Belgian beer and like to try new things constantly.. keeps life from being mundane and boring! I recently tried tabletop shuffle board a bar in the mission and it was a lot of fun!

I'm not so into dating someone in an "open" relationship. I have friends who are polyamory, I get it, but due to my nature, it doesn't work for me. I am far too Italian to share my SO.

Currently I'm working on a small jewelry business. It eats up a lot of time, but I throughly enjoy it. It doesn't feel right if I'm not making something with my hands, and I've been itching to build an entertainment center for myself, I just have no easy access to a table saw or the space to assemble, sand and stain it.

I started taking yoga four months ago and I find it surprising that I'm still stretchy, but completely and utterly thrilled that I can hold the poses..

Being way too honest sometimes.. and other times, I'm a bit dense.

Cooking. I love to cook. Love even more to cook for more than just me and the furry terrorists currently residing in my home.

Painting. Knowing when someone's upset.

What I'm bad at:
Hiding my feelings
Getting up early
Going to bed on time
Running (bad knees!))
Shopping

My eyes. I always get comments about my eyes. They're hazel, I know they change with the light and my moods (my sister claims they turn gold when I get mad, but I don't believe her, or the others!)

Oh boy. Here it comes:

Books: Sunset Gun, LOTR's Trilogy, Watership Down, Elric Series, Morning in the Burned House, The Zombie Survival Guide, World War Z, The Abhorsen Trilogy, Might As Well Live, lots and lots of craft books, War for the Oaks.. and I'll have to think about it, because most of my books are packed up.

Food: I hate raw onions. Peppers=Yuck. No anchovies on anything, ever, for me, thank you.

Laptop

Art. Things I want to make, wish I had the space to make.

Usually in yoga, getting all zen and not having my thoughts race a mile a minute.

I broke a vertebrae in my back when I was 24. I was taken out of action by a mannequin - not riding any of the family horses or playing sports or a car accident - a mannequin.

Hard to live up to being a tomboy when a great big Barbie takes you out.

You're a nice guy with a rebellious streak or tattoos, or if you're funny.

Sarcasm, intelligence, an affection for pop culture references and science fiction with an adventurous nature type geeks who aren't quite like everyone else just rock my world.

If Blade Runner's your favorite movie, then you are the guy for me!
