Having a quiet life in the south bay taking my time after work to play classical, jazz, and pop on my keyboard, take photos, go running, mountain biking, browse reddit, metafilter, flickr. Occasionally go up to the city to hang out with friends, I'm a pretty reserved dude though, don't talk much, have a hard time finding what to say. But I love to chill with people if they are OK with talking and me listening.

making a place in the bay area for myself and a partner to enjoy the beautiful weather and abundance of california, to have a family!

I'm a software engineer working on digital cameras, takes a lot of my time but things have opened up giving me more time to get out and try to meet people. I love music, classical piano forms my roots but i've spent the last few years listening to jazz and playing jazz piano from books, it's been fun.

Being an easy going and loyal companion to my friends, contributing insightful or alternative perspective understanding and commentary on some of the many diverse things in life

i smile, naturally a lot, even when i'm not aware, i seem to have a grin. i think it can sometimes confuse people, even though i don't mean to.. lol

i love reddit, wikipedia, currently trying to learn some jazz theory

love beethoven, bach, chopin, debussy,

monk, bud powell, sonny rollins, charles mingus

weezer, incubus, MGMT, tribe called quest

need my computer to browse my favorite sites, play with photos in Lightroom

my mtn bike to go up to the hills past saratoga (ridden up hwy 9 a few times), fremont older, or up the trails past alum rock. usually just ride around the streets starting from my house though.

golf clubs.. i like the process of relaxing my mind, finding my groove, tweaking and adjusting as my swing and body matures (i.e. getting older, ha)

running shoes, been trying to lengthen my distance, been running up to 7 miles on the weekend, usually around 3 to 4 miles once or twice during the week after work

my keyboard, lets me unwind after work, or sometimes in the middle of the day if I want to take a break off work for a little while, since i live close to home

i have a soft cuddly side, for better of for worse as a man, which i am striving more these days to be
