I care, so you don't have to.

About Me

I sometimes think that life seems to go faster as I get older. But then I realize that it's ok because I’m having a really good time just living it.I am a simple guy with a lot of interests and activities. I am an avid photographer and writer. I love to travel and I have to say that my sense of direction is pretty good – I never lose my car in parking lots or my way in amusement parks. I tend to notice details but am really good at zooming out and seeing the whole picture. My favorite store is Home Depot - I can spend hours in there, which is good because I just bought a house and I’ve been busy with all kinds of improvement projects.I learned to fly planes, I've written a book, I've worked in Namibia, Wyoming, and London, and I run a movie theater out of my living room. I strongly believe in doing what you love to do. I'm always thinking of new ideas and projects and aggressively go after new challenges. I am an optimist by nature (although sometimes it does takes work to be so) and tend to naturally make the best out of any situation. I am a romantic at heart and enjoy language and words that inspire feeling. I've never encountered an adventure I didn't like. And after reading this over it seems that I apparently like starting sentences with 'I'.

My Interests

Too many, and not enough time. I go through phases. Right now I'm really into kayaking for some reason. And I've also been in a home improvement phase for a while.

I'd like to meet:

I like to meet people who understand that there is more to life than cell phones and coffee. There is great beauty in the world, even in everyday things – it appears constantly. In my experience it seems a lot of people don’t really stop to appreciate what is right there before them. I’m interested in meeting people who would love to watch the sunset every now and then and who get that life really isn’t that complicated. Just have fun and do what you love to do. The rest will all fall into place.

Music:

For every mood there is a perfect song. I recently got XM radio and I listen to everything from the African channel to alternative to the comedy station.

Movies:

I built a movie theater in my house, so I don't go to too many movies anymore. I watch them at Leff Cinemas.

Television:

The new Battlestar Galactica is the best show ever.

Books:

The Nine Lands - I wrote it, and I think everyone should buy it. My favorite book I didn't write is The Sun Also Rises, by Hemingway.

Heroes:

I was recently shown that there really are heroes out there if you just look for them. My faith has been reaffirmed. Life is good.
