I'm a fun, friendly, easy-going guy who enjoys the pursuit of happiness and adventure. I prefer the unbeaten path, the unknown road, and will work my ass off to get what I want when I really want it. I love music, comedy, and jumping out of very high places. However, I also enjoy simple things like taking my inline skates to the lake, or taking a book to the park and just chilling out in the sun.

I can be as silly as I can be serious, and consider myself to be a warm-hearted and loving individual. I also probably smell better than the last guy you dated. :)

I moved to Seattle from Southern California a year ago to pursue my dream of playing music for a living. In the meantime, I adjudicate Social Security disability cases. It would make a good career, if I a) had kids and a family or b) didn't want to do this music thing. I've never been known to do the safe and ordinary, though.

making people laugh, playing bass, directions, and bad english accents.

Other random things I'm not too shabby at: deep conversation about trivial matters, snowboarding, killing time, being positive, travelling solo, driving too fast, laughing at myself, Ms. Pac-Man and Tetris, picking out good restaurants, facing fears, crossword puzzles, cooking lasagna, rooting for the San Diego Chargers, getting shit done.

I'm not tall, I'm not white, and I've got this red thing on my head.

Food: I LOVE FOOD!!! There's very little cuisine I won't try. If I have a week that includes vietnamese food, sushi, pulled pork sandwich, gyro, a good salad (that means no iceburg lettuce), pizza, Blue Moon Burger, or Ezell's, then I consider that a good week for food.

beats and rhythms, my next travel destination, and how to get more sleep than I currently do.

at a music show, either attending or performing, or at a bar with a beer in my hand and a friend by my side. On a rare occasion, I actually get to see a movie on opening night.

I'm lactose intolerant. But I love cheese.

If you have a good attitude, if you have passion for something in your life, and have a good sense of humor, then we should say hello. If you like tattoos, music, and world cultures, then I'm definitely worth a shot.
