Warm weather, dogs, food, and wonderful people make me happy. I laugh easily and am only in a hurry at the last minute. Poems have been written about how I eat ice cream. I've danced Bangara in the streets of India, been moved to tears by the grace and beauty of Michelangelo' s Pieta in Italy, practiced Capoeira on the beaches of Brazil, and sailed along dolphins in the Greek islands. Jumping out of a perfectly working plane at 14, 000 feet off Australia's Great Barrier Reef is stupid, dangerous, and highly recommended. Burning Man is crazy, amazing, incredibly fun, frustrating, and beautiful. I'm a geek with a silly side who feels deeply, loves generously, and is inspired by the delicate simplicity of being alive. My energies go equally into work, martial arts, working out, and enjoying the finer things in life. Such as chocolate. Sushi. Music with soul. Wonderful friends and family. Dancing till the late night party ends, tickle fights that I lose, snuggling at home with a video, sipping a fine beverage on a lazy afternoon, and above all, people who care.
