About Me

I am a 36 year old, 300lb+, gay man who is making a big change in his life. After several years of taking care of an ill family member I am finally making an attempt at breaking into the bay area. I have apparel design knowledge and have participated in costuming college theatre productions, local minor theatre productions, clothing for historical reenactment gatherings, fantasy costumes for friends and family as well constructing theme mascots for a nationwide distribution company. I worked for an interior design company for nearly 5 years constructing custom drapery, cushions and pillows. I have designed and constructed window coverings for friends and family spaces. UPDATE!!!!!! Now my sewing has taken a very "BUTCH" turn as I have just been hired by a company that repairs fire-fighter uniforms! This will be a new field for me building on my existing knowledge.

My Interests

I love theatre and am a big fan of musicals (especially anything Sondheim). I enjoy catching a show whenever I get a chance. Recently, I was fortunate to catch the touring casts of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" and "25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee". In my trips to Manhattan I saw "Chicago", "Rent", "Cabaret" and "Taller than a Dwarf". I hope that one day I will be able to travel to Broadway and the West End to take in the seasons on a regular basis.

I'd like to meet:

People in the Bay area and from around the world. Above all I like a good sense of humor.
