Hi there and thanks for stoping by my profile! According to my Very
Extensive Research™ you live either in San Francisco or Oakland and
have a secret addiction to punk rock clubs. Me, I live in Palo Alto
and spend most of my time organizing Outdoor Adventures ...
I'm normally outgoing and socially adroit, smart — both intellectually and emotionally. Unfortunately "dating" doesn't fall into the above for me. I become shy, tentative, awkward and clumsy. Sometimes I wish we could just skip straight to the Third Date where everyone is already comfortable. :-) But the Good News™ is that it does pass!
So my idea of a perfect first date is a "Play Date." Head out and do something active — hiking, biking or rock climbing (inside or out) — and then grab a burger and beer afterwards. Maybe a bit ambitious, but still, now you know something about me even if that's a "second date" ... :-)
Cruise Director was my unofficial title at a company for which I used to work. And in my neighborhood they refer to me as The Mayor of Cowper Street ... It's kind of My Thing, bringing people together in social situations — athletic outdoor events followed by food and drink being my favorite. I feel very lucky in my life. I've made amazing friends who are very important to me.
A woman I once met said of the person she wanted to meet: "You treat clerks well even when no one is looking." That's stuck with me for years and I think is one of the best rules to live life by.
All of that said, in the end, I'm "just a nice guy" who strives to make the world a better place ... for friends, family and random strangers ... and for myself as well of course!
