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.

(1/11/10 Update): 2009 sucked. It sucked a lot. I really can't convey how much it sucked because the words would melt down trying to carry that kind of emotional weight. My wife and I were separated for several months in 2009 but are now back together.

Personal Keywords: Bald-headed, Mostly Irish, Open Marriage, Open Relationship, Poly, Polyamory, Geek, Nerd, Gamer, RPG, CCG, Texas Hold'em

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:

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.)

(1/11/10 Update): In the new house I tried to experiment with gardening. However, I had two agents of entropy to contend with -- our dogs. Even after repeatedly shoring up the fortifications, my garden defenses were repeatedly breached. For now, the garden lays fallow.

Daughter, Wife, Massage/Touch, PC, iPod.

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 learned some formal dances: Cha-cha, Tango, Salsa, and Merengue)...OR...playing a role-playing game (face-to-face with other people across a table with dice and everything!)

RPG Gaming Keywords: D&D, Star Frontiers, Gamma World, MechWarrior, Battletech, ShadowRun, Paranoia, Champions, BESM, TMNT, Robotech, Rifts.

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. :)
