I'm the boy next door with a naughty streak. I'm not afraid to try something new, and challenge myself physically, mentally and emotionally.

I love food – eating, cooking, and sharing with friends and family;

and photography. You'd usually find me with my camera taking pictures when I'm traveling, at parties or of friends and family :-)

I wrote this for you -
"Expressive eyes and luscious lips,
hair tied down with clips.
Across the bridge and around town,
in sunshine with the top down.
Farmers markets, beet-root tops,
hustle produce in flip flops.
Tall, strong, sweet, saucy;
I want everything."

Running, biking, swimming, showing my photography at local shops, being a food snob, spending time at MoMA, DeYoung, local art galleries, randomly meeting new and interesting people. getting back into yoga, and new to meditation

Trained as an architect and graphic designer, I now do interface design for the web and mobile apps.

I'm a dreamer, working on making my dreams a reality. Currently working to get my startup related to creating community through food off the ground.

Creating order out of chaos;
Recognizing people by their voice;
Listening;
Being messy;
Organizing;

My smile.

... you are awesome.

... you sense the possibility of a connection. I am open to a short-term adventure, and also feel ready to take the next step in my life for something long-term, to share, build, and grow with the right woman.
