I am a spontaneous passionate man and I Love to experience everything Life has to offer. (I can't believe I just wrote something that lame.) I Love meeting new people and having new experiences. (Wow, I just did it again!) My tastes vary greatly; I Love getting suited up, going to the opera and philosophizing over a good bottle of wine or throwing on jeans, a t-shirt and my cowboy boots and sluggin' back some Maker's at a dive bar with some rock 'n' roll blaring. Much how Shakespeare ranges from the most mellifluous of matters to the darkest of macabre, I like to appreciate the finer things in Life one evening but then the very next night enjoy a course of a coarser nature.

I was raised by two women (my sister and my mother) so I grew up learning to respect women and be very open with my emotions- but caveat emptor- I'm no softee- I stand and fight to the death for what I believe in (Viva La Revolucion!) I believe a real man is strong but knows that vulnerability is a strength- not a weakness. It is much harder to open yourself up and be honest than it is to put up walls and defenses. I believe in Truth (even though it isn't always pretty) and open communication- but, again- please don't confuse me with a good boy; I got a bit of the rebel in me...ok, a lot of the rebel in me. (Once more unto the lameness, dear friends) (I, also, just realized that I have quite a proclivity for parenthetical phrases...and alliteration).

I loathe judgment and ignorance. (Although, I oft times find myself judging those who judge others- damn those catch 22's stooping me in ignorance) I am a very spiritual person but I, myself, cannot support organized religion. "Do as you will and harm none" shows a bit of my feelings on that iceberg.

I enjoy being active- I do yoga, hike, snowboard, surf and so on. I do Love to be healthy but I also relish basking in the sun with some margaritas on the patio.

My standards are very high and I am very picky with women. It takes more than just a nice body to turn me on (I'll take that too ;-) but intellect, wit, confidence, self awareness and a gorgeous smile excite me. Nothin' in the world like a woman with a good sense of humor that doesn't take herself too seriously- I'm a total goofball at times. But there are times to be serious and times to let it rip- knowing the difference is the nuance of Life. I can be as fine as 360 grit sandpaper but as rough as 40 grit. I come with a caveat: Not for the faint of heart. Being easily offended is the only thing offensive to me! Oh, and this is a perfect time to say- please don't be afraid of your sexuality- embrace it healthily. There's too much fun and enlightenment to be had...

Wow, I don't think I left anything for you to ask. You didn't actually read all that did ya? Any more questions?

My goals and aspirations are quite lofty but grounded in reality. As a writer (are you surprised?) I am working on several screenplays and have written, produced and directed my own play called Cirque de Lumiere (or Everyman's Apocalypse) that parallels the Book of Revelation, but not in the literal end of the world sense but the end of the world as we know it as we ascend into higher levels of consciousness. It sounds heavy, but it's a bunch of clowns running around speaking in Iambic Pentameter :-)

As a bass player I have had three record contracts (the last of which was with Capitol Records) and toured arenas around the country. I now have my own band, Dive Bar Stickup, that plays out in the LA area. DBS is more than a band- it is a concept that we are building that is a culmination of all my passions and talents. I am currently directing our first video. Ultimately, I am working towards making my own films (just finished my first feature screenplay and wrote, produced, directed, acted, played the music and edited my first short film)

Is this where I bloviate? I hope there is enough room in this little box. Let's see- I'm good at talking about myself! Ha! Ok, seriously-

playing bass
guitar
writing
smiling
snowboarding
yoga
communication
kissing

You tell me.

My musical tastes run the gamut pretty well. Classical Music (Tchaikovsky) and rock are my favorites but I listen to everything (yeah, I know, they all say that) but most people would have a difficult time with my ipod on shuffle. My tastes range from Bare Naked Ladies to Slipknot- from Mozart to Sarah Mclachlan- from jazz to showtunes- from Busta to...you get the point. As a bass player rock is my forte.

Food- I Love it. I Love to cook it (still learning). I Love to eat it. I Love to play with it. Hehehe. I fancy myself a bit of a budding epicure. Italian is my favorite but I Love to explore and try new things- except maybe Rocky Mountain Oysters :-s I'm constantly trying to expand my palette. Still can't seem to get pickles in there, though!

Shakespeare, Garlic, Passion, A Beautiful Smile, Love, Music, Osculation, Copulation

8- I don't like limits.

What my future wife might be doing right now...

Out having a great time with my incredible friends.

Is certainly not going to be written in this little box for all to see!

you're ready ;-)
