About Me

Me; i'm an engineer by trade, everything else by interest. Civil engineering job (water resources – land development stuff), finished my mba in finance - need to transition into that world now. If the world were perfect, i'd run a restaurant somewhere with a view - I love to cook, it's the experimental expression of things; a hell of a lot better than looking at numbers. Also, i'm a big fan of travel, outdoor adventure, political science, etc...And of course, living in Austin, outdoor excursions are at a premium. I primarily mountain bike – it allows for appreciation of nature, great athletic release, and a combination of solitude or great group interaction depending on your mood.

My Interests

Outdoors, bikes, sports, politics, music, people in general.

I'd like to meet:

people who are intelligent, challenging, active, and fun.

Music:

Pretty much everything - reggae's my first love, blues, rock, cuban, bluegrass, old school country, underground hip hop & the good stuff that makes it, austin music, live music; you know - expressions of artists apart from the industry that attempts to create music.

Movies:

Anything well written. There's a place for all movies: cheesy action, arthouse, foreign, bollywood, etc.

Television:

unfortunately I abhor TV but still spend time watching it. the best series I've seen in quite a while has been The Wire. apart from that there are many things that entertain; but few that challenge.

Books:

well written stories about life. bios are of particular interst. any book that allows you to transition to a place where life and characters can be appriciated.

Heroes:

people of principle whom have a drive that allows for total lack of fear in their pursuit of goals
