About Me

California born and raised, world cultured. I've been fortunate enough to touch the depths of the Pacific and the peaks of Europe. I bite it when I mountain bike and swallow it when I scuba dive and keep coming back for more. Why? Because I'm the opposite of complacent and the quintessence of curious and what I know now isn't/will never be enough. Iâ€™m constantly striving to learn from the way others think. I like to think that I "maintain against the grain" â€“ a driven business guy who wears a suit to meet with an international client and on the way back from the airport changes in the car into a hooded sweatshirt and Converse to meet up with the boys at a punk show on Sunset Boulevard. I pour my soul into my friends, am a terrible gambler, hate liars and would risk everything for two things: 1) children 2) the answer.

My Interests

Learning about things that other people love to love.

I'd like to meet:

The guy/gal who invented the glue that keeps the little reflective road lights stuck to the ground on the freeway. The "non-existant" top secret Nike Ekin society fellowship. Harloquinn Spector. Dirty Sanchez. I wish I'd never met Mr. Black Berry. The lady who sits behind the desk on the Snapple commercials. Jonny Carson. The guy/gal who invented the Sharpie. The guy/gal who came up with the idea that moms should write their kid's name on their underwear so when they bend over to pick stuff up they get their butt kicked by the second session summer camp bully.
