I'm a creative, nerdy, athletic, adventurer.

I have a deep, continual love affair with the Pacific and words.

I prefer motorcycles to cars, activity to lethargy and relish time spent in the sun.

I have an abiding sense of loyalty and integrity and am fiercely protective of the people I care about.

I'm playing piano, riding my Harley or Busa, playing hockey, skiing, skating, SCUBA diving or maybe playing video games.

If I'm not doing any of those, I might be drinking tequila and beer and throwing darts while praising the Brits for creating a game the requires you drink and throw sharp things.

Or maybe a combination of the above. Generally, just having as much fun as possible while maintaining a semblance of responsibility.

When I'm not doing fun playthings, I'm doing fun workthings; working as an art director for a game developer in Sherman Oaks.

Essentially, I love experience for the sake of it and spend a good deal of energy looking for new things to do and see.

A number of things, which, when listed, feel annoyingly egocentric and self-serving(even though that's the point, I suppose).

Pretend there's a long, impressive list here and the items on it are intriguing and worthy of exploring.

Or not.

Up to you.

My nose, my eyes and gorilla-like hands.

*I'll add to this as patience allows :)

Music:
Being a musician, I find a like most music. From Barbershop Quartet to Blondie and bagpipes, a capella to classical and world, to most everything sans Hip Hop and Rap (though even select pieces in those work for me).

I do have a particular affinity for Peter Gabriel and older Genesis and 80's New Wave and some punk.

Food:
Yes, please.

*Disclaimer: Items 5 and 6 subject to change without notice

Family, my paino, the Pacific, mom's pasta, Starbucks, the internet

Things worthy of consideration.

What's a typical Friday night? Currently I'm either dancing / socializing at a CW club in Chatsworth, or maybe riding, or watching a movie, eating sushi. Who knows? Next Friday could be a night dive on Catalina or drinks at Gladstones or something altogether different.

I have a thing for feudal Japan.

If you feel we align and aren't afraid of motorcycles.
