Well, I'm very easy going, kind-hearted, considerate, compassionate, humble and very open minded. I have experienced a great many adventures and live to experience what each day brings me! I'm originally from north of Boston, and I've lived/travelled all over the country! My friends find me to be a smart-ass funny man-so they say! Smitice is a nick-name my longboard hill bombing buddies, in Seattle, gave me because of how I flow on my board and what stresses most people just slides right off me-or something like that. I'm a geek whose full of passion and creativity, that loves the city as much as the country! I am confident but not egotistical. I'm more of a classy man who knows you can find out much more from someone face to face than by email (where so much gets lost in translation). I am educated, respectful and considerate.

Living-having a good time and moving forward! Since I was a kid I knew that creative arts is where my passion lies! I mostly create illustrations and paintings, but I've studied in many artistic mediums! I have worked in so many different fields and these days I'm learning the art of tattooing as my new medium and slowly getting out of my day gig of commercial property maintenance management!

Riding either my BMX streetbike or my mountain bike, keeping up w/ my physical training, currently taking Aikido and Toyama Ryu Battodo martial arts (I used to train MMA, Tae Kwon Do and BJJ, for years, long before it became a hit TV show), eating lots of food, getting out of the house! Reading up on various topics of interest. Recently I decided to do a wicked lot of traveling again!!! Going back to Boston at least once a year, heading to Alaska again, the tropics and overseas!!!

Doodling
Listening
Cooking
Hockey
Tree climbing
Bustin the dope moves

Just about anything I put my mind to.

I suppose you'll have to ask them-but it could be how people notice me from across the room, probably due to my hair, haha-that and my smile-I guess.

My friend Heather in Seattle once said, "Smitty is such a great guy, if you can get past the first 5 minutes!"-LOL!!
