I like getting dirt under my fingernails, and beer on my tongue. I'm cheesy, and I love water, drinking and swimmin in it. I'm learning to surf. I like to read, sometimes stay up late at night rhyming and writing. Cooking and eating healthy are big on my list. I was vegetarian for about 10 years. Now I'm a random carnivore. Having an active lifestyle is vital. I don't own a television, so I get out a lot. I work in a "Farm-to-Table" restaurant, and I teach a couple fitness classes on the side. A punk rock show will put me in my element, but I can golf-clap my way through a violin concert as well. I love dark chocolate, a sunrises when I catch one, and I grew up in San Francisco, lived 3 years ski-bumming in Lake Tahoe, worked in Human Rights diplomacy in Washington DC, then moved to San Diego to meet you. Ain't that sweet.

I am engaged, spontaneous, and creative

Rising to the occasion, contemplating grad school, learning about wine and beer, sailing, cycling -road and mountain, learning more about greenliving (home energy efficiency), and looking for a job that puts public service and health together.

Swimming, making popcorn without a microwave, writing, folding laundry, athletic challenges, watching the rain, navigation, getting lost, reading, handyman projects, photography, and laughing at myself.

I'm athletic

Nothings typical, and I like it that way. Sometimes it's pool and pitchers, sometimes it's martinis and music, and once in awhile it's netflix and Nutella. Live music will bring me out anytime, and the occasional opera, ballet, screenplay, rodeo or monster truck rally.

One surefire way to give me a hard-on is to show me your.....................................................................................................................parallel parking skills.

If you're not afraid to break a sweat, you like to argue, you're a free spirit, down for some serendipitous fun, intelligent conversation, good food. You don't smoke, your body is a temple, and you've been skinny-dipping at least once.

If you made it this far, then write me.
