I'm an
imagination-driven man on a mission
to explore life. I dabble in
writing sci-fi and
fantasy. I also have a passion for
games of all
kinds.
I've been married to
polyfulcrum since 1995 and in 2002 we
decided to open our marriage. As of 2006, I self-identify as a
polyamorous
person. My wife and I met when we were both attending school to
become
massage therapists.
(8/30/09 Update): After an intense summer and for a variety of
reasons, my wife and I are currently separated. She remains a very
important part of my daily life, but we have personal issues that
need to be resolved and that requires some relationship
distance.

I'm a professional computer geek! I am Tier 2 hardware support on a
helpdesk for a Fortune 500 company.
I'm also very busy focusing on the needs of various people in my
life. This allows me to procrastinate on writing projects (and less
desirable projects) with great vigor!
My wife, her boyfriend and I have just all moved into a brand new
house together as of August 2008! If you're curious about that, we
have a blog that we all contribute to:
http://polytripod.blogspot.com/
In that new house, I am trying to experiment with gardening. Since
I started this project in the fall, all I've planted in the planter
boxes are two varieties of lettuce, peas and "walking onions."
Thankfully the weather has been both wet and somewhat mild this
fall. I can see sproutlings everywhere!
As of mid-October 2008, we also now have puppies! So great to have
dogly energy in our lives again. We decided to go from zero to two
dogs all at once. When we got them, they were only six weeks old.
Having two of them seems to have been a pretty good choice -- they
don't whine at all during the night and generally keep each other
company. They are both mixed heritage dogs that we got from ads
placed on Craigslist. The bigger, light-colored dog is Bella and
the smaller, black dog is Donna. (Hehehehe... couldn't resist the
"Belladonna" word play.)

I'm really good at meaningful/deep conversations, massage,
snuggling, and writing short fiction. (Hoping to get more
motivation and time for longer works of fiction.)
Communication and honesty are two of my biggest strengths.
I'm easy-going and engaged in getting to know you. Nearly every
single woman I've known has complimented me on the way I hug.

Women... Ummm...
Yeah, women. :)
sci-fi/fantasy projects.
Philosophy.
Politics. (Yes, I
voted for Obama!)
I like word play. So, I'm usually thinking about how to connect
various concepts during a conversation to make a
pun. I usually try to go for the
pun that blindsides
everyone and leaves them groaning.
Watching the kid...OR...going to a movie...OR...going
dancing (my wife and I just

Every man has his kryptonite. I am a
massage slut!! Touch me with
purpose and I will be in your thrall. :)
...you are close to
Vancouver, WA and want to get to
know a quality guy who enjoys being both serious and goofy in equal
measure.
If you are a woman interested in a romantic connection, I find that
my most successful relationships are within 10 years of my age. I'm
willing to entertain connecting with women beyond that bracket, but
a lot of other factors need to align to make me feel comfortable
with that.
So don't be shy! Email me! If you're polyamorous or share any other
interests with me, please strike up a conversation. :)
