About Me

this is me. . . . . take it or leave it! I'm an extremely positive, optimistic person --- gotta be! I'm a cancer survivor; clean for two years now. I divide my daily life between my home in Playa del Rey (a ninety second stroll from the sand) and my law practice (based out of Orange County). I'm a trial lawyer in a large international law firm, and work out of their Newport Beach office. I love what I do; always stimulating and challenging. Blessed with great friends all over the world. My leisure interests run strongly toward travel (I've visited all the continents ['cept Antarctica; it's on the to-do list] and probably 30 countries), challenging my body/mind in various ways (weightlifting, surfing, tennis, Pilates, anything else you can do on the water, lately yoga), and exploring the frontiers of the so-called "good life." I treat myself to what I find best in every sphere. I enjoy partying/relaxation in all its forms; it balances me out against my career, which is all deadly-serious. In terms of relationships, I have been blessed with many beautiful romances, including with my ex-wife, who is still a friend. And with just a lot of hot sex, too. I'm still looking for the ultimate woman to take the ultimate trip. What's the saying?? - With the wrong person, nothing works. With the right person, everything works. At any rate, I'm very happy being just me, and there's always plenty of great people who want to share some part of the ride.

My Interests

conversation, travel to anywhere I haven't been yet, learning new things. Physical: working out, yoga, Alexander and Feldenkrais techniques, surfing, swimming, skiing, trying to learn to snowboard; my brilliant trainer Johnny Seitz (who will transform anyone) Intellectual: history (past and future); why women can't think normally; the fate of all flesh; the evil of all political solutions Spiritual: why was I born in this body versus that of a hamster; why I no longer care what happens after I die ;} Long-range: being balanced; finding the right woman for the "ultimate ride" --- that is, just keeping on keeping on.

I'd like to meet:

future ex-girlfriends ;} anyone who is clever or fun to party with, regardless of location or gender --- I do get around; people who hang out in my primary neighborhoods (the Westside of Los Angeles and the O.C.), or in my "second homes" --- Vegas, Palm Springs, San Diego, New York City, Miami, London, Paris and (lately Romania); also people in Thailand and Malaysia, where I will retire in thirty or forty more years.

Music:

anythang dat bangs! I am equally comfortable at a hip-hop show or at the LA Opera, or anything stylistically in between; over time listening to more trance/lounge; too much new music coming out to even hope of keeping up. I do not like country music, though (except for Johnny Cash; that man had cojones).

Movies:

Anything directed by Kubrick, Roeg or Fellini; Brian De Palma, when he could keep his wife at home; Tarantino; Kurosawa; stuff by Takeshi Miike; really stupid action films. But, any movie can be fun with the right company.

Television:

Rome; Entourage; Stacked (how the mighty have fallen); Sopranos; nip/tuck (those two guys are so perfectly depraved); 24; The E! Channel; The "L" Word --- you know why.

Books:

Huh???? As a trial lawyer, I have to read for a living. But still, I do make time to read something with a soul. Favorite modern American writers: Norman Mailer and William S. Burroughs. Favorite foreign writers: Proust, Nadine Gordimer, Neitzsche (so fuckin' mean), Bulgakov. I read tons of books about finance and the art of communication, to make me better in my career.

Heroes:

Rick James.....BITCH!!! Jenna Jameson --- just because. Donald Trump's hairdresser -- no explanation necessary.
