About Me

I love living in Denver because I have not been bored once since I moved here 3 years ago. If I'm away from this town for longer than a couple of days I miss it, whether I'm lounging on a white sand beach in Mexico or trespassing in ancient tunnels under Old Jerusalem. If you were to find me on a random day you may see me shredding through deep snow on snowboard, cliff diving into the cold clear mountain creeks on a sunny summer afternoon or exploring abandoned underground missile silos geared with headlamp and respirator. You may catch me rocking the fuck out on the dance floor at a warehouse party, welding together a sculpture or listening to a symphony orchestra at Red Rocks. While I'm very outgoing and active, relaxation time is big part of my live. There are few things I enjoy more than sitting on the roof of my gallery with dear friends, watching the sunset over the mountains reflecting on downtown skyscrapers, leisurely smoking hookah and sipping good bourbon.

My Interests

fine art, deep conversations, combat robots, experimental music, anything Russian (especially women), technical rock climbing, narly math, urban exploration, fast computers, deep snow, 4x4 trucks, romantic adventures, unique clothes, long trips, hard work, rowdy parties

I'd like to meet:

If we have not met in flesh: please do not add me as friend without sending a message, if you send me a message have something interesting to say.That said, I want to meet people who are adventurous enough to risk, open-minded enough to embrace the exotic, passionate enough to enjoy the world around, authentic enough to count on, outgoing enough to dance till daylight and driven enough to succeed.

Sci Fi is pretty cool sometimes too. I've enjoyed stories by Stanislav Lem and Neal Stephenson.
