I am here for Friends

About Me


I'm 43 years old, divorced father of a 10 y.o. daughter. I am very involved in her life. My ex and I are very good terms and have shared custody of our child. I am a working hands on chef, which means, yes my apron does get dirty. I tried pencil pushing and don't really like it. I am very good at what I do and people deserve to enjoy the fruits of my labor and I deserve to not be bored with cost analyses and P&L statements. I am classically trained with a solid back ground in all cooking techniques. I was one of the founding partners of Amber Waves restaurant, an Asian Style noodle shop in Amherst, MA., which was voted Best New Restaurant in the Valley Advocate Readers Poll.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


Too late for that, Eh?As far as companionship - I'm not looking right now. Well, I look and I flirt but right now I am in a period of self discovery. I need to be alone and available for my daughter but for myself as well. But you never know what each day will bring, Robert Hunter said it best "Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right."My oldest and dearest friends all have one thing in common, they tell me the truth about myself, no matter what. For that I will forever be thankful.My Friends Tracy and Don Bruce do the coolest things for Halloween.
