About Me

I'm confident, straightforward and opinionated, and tend to speak before I think, but I am slowly learning the nuances of self control. With friends, my loyalty comes with no price-tag, and if I'm on your side, I'm there for life. Nothing makes me happier than smiling and laughing with the people I care about the most and often. The best advice I have ever been given is to "stand up straight, look a person in the eyes when you speak to them, and always get the door for a lady." I tend to favor the unseen details in life and believe happiness=success, not the other way around. I'm a big fan of honest and clear communication and respect the hell out of people who follow suit. I'm all about risks. I have been in Los Angeles for a little over a year and it's been amazing experience so far. There is an electricity and dynamic to both this city and it's inhabitants that can't be put into words. It's intense! I feel like I've finally found a home.
At any given time I'm thinking about these things: My dog, Myra. Austin. Film/TV production. Snow. The carpool lane. Lazy Sundays. Los Angeles. Music. Chai tea lattes. Singing and dancing like everyone is watching and I don't care. Improv. Silly accents. Telluride. Runyon Canyon. The punch line. Waist high sets on a windless day. The Santa Monica stairs. 2 glasses of Red. Making new friends and reconnecting with old ones. Sailing. The dog park. Flying over the Sepulveda pass. Long bike rides to nowhere. Helicopters. Sunsets. Eating better. Palm trees.
I also tend to wear my heart on my sleeve, but I mean well... I promise.
Thanks for your time, and if your still reading this and we do meet, I'll buy you a drink... maybe.

My Interests

Myra --Click it! Aviation, Snowboarding, Running, Photo , Red Wine, Driving fast and running red lights, Yelp , making out in the rain, and the politics of dancing.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who loves dogs and enjoys running up the canyon. Traveling salesmen, Pilots & Air Traffic Controllers, Wine savants, Someone who can teach me to stick a backside 5, The Sultans of swing, Good kissers with soft necks, A lo-fi Tennessee mountain angel... and a woman with a kick-ass collection of shoes.

These folks are top shelf

The rest of the best

Television:

I wish my life was like a prime time drama! Everyone would look good (even the ugly people) My home would be furnished with top of the line stuff, regardless of our income level, and all of my problems would be solved in 43 minutes!

Heroes:

Oscar Wilde said "If you're going to tell people the truth, make them laugh. Otherwise they'll kill you." -Golden!
