About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Moon beach

I came to Las Vegas in 2001 after several years of working in Asia (mainly China and Hong Kong) in sales and business development from sports to the Internet. I also spent a several years of my childhood growing-up in Asia. That makes me a TCK. I still maintain my friendships I made there, return for weddings every now and then and still read Chinese most everyday. I now work in the field of organizational development in Las Vegas and am very happy living in the States.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Nice people with great souls. I like to use myspace as means to discuss and learn more about music, art, film, politics and culture; and keep up with what my favorite artists are up to. To keep in personal contact with friends, I usually just use e-mail.Bob Marley talks about life
Avishai Cohen Trio
Oscar Peterson - Mirage

Music:

There are many jazz, blues and reggae artists I enjoy, past and present. Vegas has very few jazz or blues venues but there are a couple of good ones: Cellar Lounge, Sonny's, Pocos and Caylix. Do you know of any other good ones in Vegas you would recommend?Drop me a line sometime on what music you are listening to. I always like to be introduced to new music.

Movies:

All types

Television:

I don't watch television. If I did, ESPN/Sports Center.

Books:

Many different genres

Heroes:

My mother and grandfather. They have shown me how to love and respect people.
