I live freely and have an open-minded attitude about trying new things and sharing the joys and richness of life with other conscious and aware beings.

I'm playful and always ready with a witless joke, amused at how many laughs can be found in the fabric of life once you have an easy-going attitude. I'm also pragmatic and passionate about life and living it, and when it comes to business and serious matters, I push though uncertainty and adversity when it counts (is there another choice?).

I try my hardest to never let negativity or fear be the underlying reason for my body or mind to resist something. Meanwhile, I always laugh at my shortcomings and the ironies of daily existence.

One of my guiding principles of being is to say yes to as much as possible. I also believe that connecting with other conscious individuals and avoiding highly unconscious individuals results in a richer and deeper state of being.

I spend most of my time practicing ashtanga and bikram yoga, watching improv comedy, and doing cool and interesting work at the office. I'm also into quality food, theater, and film -- basically anything that offers depth to the present moment. I believe that an active and balanced mind-body connection is a key to sustainable happiness because it brings a peace and clarity to everyday being. The time that we're be able to fully use our body and mind is always fleeting, so it only makes sense to be a conscious and aware operator of both.

I've been a cofounder of a software company for almost ten years now and have been very blessed. This role offers opportunities to engineer and artistically shape stimulating and super fun products while offering financial independence and other forms of freedom.

Part of me likes the idea of retiring in a couple years to get to all the cool projects that have been piling up, but I dig work so much it's hard to think about putting it down for good. So until then, I'm pulled five different ways every day, sometimes feeling overloaded! :'\

laughing, making sushi, dog hugs, biz, visual design, pushing myself, lovin improv, wikipedia surfing, baking, motivating, persuasion, making hummus from scratch, burning tons of incense, and watching the Planet Earth series like it's my first time

I like to be as present as possible with people, and I like to look in people's eyes.

Let's try something different...

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
- Maya Angelou

"90% of life is just showing up."
- Woody Allen

"Are we like couples you see in restaurants? Are we the dining dead?"
- Joel, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

"We know not how to live this life which is so short yet seek one that never ends."
- Anatole France

"Money often costs too much."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"I love you with so much of my heart, that none is left to protest."
- Beatrice to Benedick, Much Ado About Nothing

"I am never upset for the reason I think."
- Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth

...and my two personal mottos:

Sail east by sailing west.

E pluribus unum (Out of many, one).

yoga, improv, imagination, guacamole, curiosity, and wikipedia

serendipity, awareness, consciousness, the universe, my life's purpose, jokes, bikram yoga, ashtanga yoga, sex, and music visualization (what I do for work).

I suppose it goes without saying that I spend time thinking about women who are conscious, have a strong mind-body connection, and are detached from whatever society says they should or shouldn't be like.

...you're positive, sharp, crafty, passionate, and expressive. You regard being physically active as a way to educate and inform yourself about being, your mind, and your body.

If you're a flake or too cool for school then no thanks.

If you know what Flipizen, Black Rock City, MOOP, or burning your own art means, then why aren't you already messaging me? :D

Bonus points if you love purple!
