About Me

I am a 34 male, I live in Olympia, WA and I have 2 wonderful daughters (ages 10 and 3). I graduated from The Evergreen State College and want to create a positive change in this world. I want to help mold the world into a place that is beautiful for all and a place that I will be proud to pass on to, not just my kids but, all the children of the world.

My Interests

hiking, camping, photography, buddhism, don carlos costaneda, mountain biking, snowboarding,dancing and too much more to mention.

I'd like to meet:

people that love the outdoors and want to help preserve it. I used to snowboard and mountain bike religiously before I moved out of Bellingham a few years ago. I want to meet people who know the good trails and the good stashes. parents that have wonderful children. people who embrace life and allow it to fill them with the wonder of the world.

Music:

any techno that makes my soul move, tool, hip hop, michael franti, 80's new wave, old school punk, public enemy
