About Me

Small Business Owner; EMS Paramedic, City of New York; Student RN.

I believe in the power of the common man.

My Interests

Business, Nature, Art, Music, Travel, History, Foreign Languages, People, Pets, Reading, Computer Programming, Carpentry, Auto Repair, Handywork, Conversation, Coffee, Cigars, Beer Tasting... too many interests to list. I am a 'generally interested' person.

I'd like to meet:

Decent, everyday people from all walks of life.

Music:

Latin, Rock, Club, Classical, Jazz, Ethnic... all varieties.

Movies:

Hardly ever.

Television:

Usually turned off.

Books:

Technical, informative, historical, cultural, scientific... I rarely pick up a novel. The last book I read was "The Second World War -- A Complete History," by Martin Gilbert.

Heroes:

Good people with a raw deal who hang tough -- especially the poor, the sick and the vulnerable -- and those who show kindness and understanding to underdogs.
