I am an automotive master technician by trade, although I’m not the car junkie that I used to be. I love bicycling and commute to work on my Trek Portland bicycle most days. I love reading about quantum physics, but admittedly, I don't understand it all. I like writing in my spare time. When you email me and ask me “What’s up?” be prepared to receive a two page report! I have a fascination for Steampunk gadgets and fashion, and I love art deco and streamline moderne styles. I’ve built a couple custom modified computers with see-through side windows and full lighting systems inside. My place is decorated heavily in tiki, surfing and tropical decorations. In my spare time I love to make cocktails for friends, and I have a couple excellent specialty drinks that I make. Ever had a cocktail made with cilantro? Personally, I lean toward gin as my favorite sprit, but I also love good red wine and I’ve never met a microbrew I didn’t like. I refuse to drink cheap beer. Sorry PBR, I won't drink you. I'm learning a bit about photography beyond the basic point and shoot, and might take a couple classes to learn more. I LOVE coffee! I used to play World of Warcraft way too much, but I’ve given it up for more real life stuff. I love going out for dinner with friends, hosting a cocktail and movie night at my place, going for bike rides or hikes, and live music events. I love meeting new people and learning about the infinite variety of ideas and opinions that people have. I consider my friends to be and extension of my family and they mean the world to me. I have such a crazy mix of friends that I can’t even imagine putting them all in one room together! What would happen? The mind boggles! I love to laugh and make jokes. Humor is a very important part of my life, and I find humor in almost anything. Yeah, I have to keep it to myself sometimes! Lol.
