I'm Real.
I moved to San Francisco from Los Angeles 7 years ago for my work. Love this city and what it has to offer. Always open to meet new good people.

I live in the heart of the MISSION district. Love the restaurants and bars here. Little Star, the Sycamore, Yamo, Papa Lote, Barretta, Dr. Teeth, Latin American, Dolores Park, renting movies from lost weekend. I work in the east bay and also like hanging out around Shattuck. Oakland Chinatown is one of my faves for lunch.

I love movies from independent to mainstream, catching a music show, thrift shops, city walks or hiking in general. On Saturday mornings I often, I ride by bike from the Mission to Ocean beach.

Almost all of my family still lives in Los Angeles. I'm close with them, love them, miss them, and fly down every couple of months to see them. One of my professional goals is to eventually live in both SF and Los Angeles.

Religion - I was raised Roman Catholic, and went to catholic school for years. Some of my fondest memories were sneaking gulps of church wine and pocketing stacks of those deliciously stale Jesus crackers as an alter boy. I'm not active but have a great respect for all religions and spiritual beliefs or lack thereof . Even yours.

For money and fun, I'm a graphic designer specialized in food packaging. You've eaten my work. Im always chipping up at personal design projects - particularly art print work. Love, love, love screen print posters. I have a little website up at the url symbolsociety.com.
It's bare at the moment but will have more up soonish.

Treating everyone with respect. Lightening the situation, sharing, showing up, saying “Cheers” with complete eye contact, squinting one eye while I design, helping Grandma assemble tamales on the 23rd. I like to cook at home.

I don't speak or understand Spanish. Nada. I'd learn for love however.

My latest books were THE TIPPING POINT, BLINK, FAST FOOD NATION, THE JUNGLE, CATCH 22, - wish I had time for more.

Solving design problems in and out of work. my next meal, family and friends.

out having drinks with friends, escaping into a movie theater, or keeping things mellow at home. Its never the same.

I'd like if your'e independent, have a great sense of humor(likes to laugh or make me laugh), loves life and has a healthy curiosity for the world around her. Im usually the nice guy, and have a healthy attraction to wit, sassiness and attitude. I'm patient and understanding but also think that drama is best in the theater. I'm completely comfortable in meeting good people whether things move romantically or not. Winks are good. Messages are nicer.
