I am originally from the midwest and have lived in San Francisco for nearly 9 years. I moved here from London and lived in a lot of different places before arriving in San Francisco and deciding to stay. I'm motivated, successful, well traveled, fun, open minded, and I have a lot of great friends. I guess I have been kind of picky when it comes to dating. Overall I have a great life. I was relatively career focused and traveling a lot for a long time so relationships were not a priority. I think for the first time in a while I am ready to meet someone and invest time in getting to know someone for a potential relationship. So I'm basically looking for a partner in crime. Someone to make plans with, travel, go out and experience San Francisco, go camping/boating/wakeboarding with, or just stay in and cook dinner, drink wine, and watch movies.

I have a work hard, play hard attitude on life. I am involved in a number of different companies and startups and am part owner of a popular lounge/bar/restaurant in San Francisco. So I work a lot but I also travel a lot and do a lot of fun things with my friends. I am involved in night life and charity events and know a lot of people as a result. I feel like I have a good work life balance and am in a good place career wise. The only piece that is missing is someone to share with.

Networking and connecting people. Taking pictures, organizing events.

My eyes, my smile, you tell me. People often tell me that I am very kind/genuine.

I love all of these things so there is too much to list:
Books: Ishmael, The Alchemist, A Song of Fire and Ice, anything by Ken Follett,
Movies: The Life Aquatic (basically all of Wes Andersen's films), Gladiator, Mr Brooks, Old School, City of God...way too many to list
Music: grew up listening mostly to rock and alternative, discovered electronic and lots of other genres in my 30s. I would say I like all sorts of music and have a pretty healthy mix of going to live shows as well as DJs and attending music festivals
Food: I would say I'm a foodie but I have some food allergies which are sometime frustrating and limiting. I could eat Tacos for every meal:-)

Friends
Family
Travel
Nature
Good Food
Flexibility in my job

What I want to be when I grow up.

Traveling (often in a foreign country), out having drinks with friends, dinner in a new restaurant, maybe dancing in a club, doing some sort of charity event or fundraiser, seeing a live concert, or occasionally just staying at home and watching a movie.

If I admit it then it wouldn't be private. Although I am pretty much an open book. If I like you and you ask me a question I will tell you.
