Larger than life with no regrets!

About Me

Where to begin. I am a positive person and live life to the fullest. I am outgoing, enjoy excitement as well as culture. Whether it is racing motorcycles, taking a long ride, windsurfing, scuba diving, rollerblading, or checking out a concert or a museum, I love experiencing life and appreciate people who value experiences as much as I do. Most of all I love to have fun and try new things. Make me laugh, and you may have a friend for life. Life is too short to be overly serious. Never be afraid to be yourself! I love openminded people. I have friends from all walks of life, whether it is the biking culture, boardheads, or people in the scene, I just enjoy variety. Bitter or mean people have no place in my life. I am always evolving and trying to better myself. I enjoy leading, but also like to switch and let others guide my experiences as well.For close to the last decade, I have worked with North Beach Leather (now West Coast Leather) as their webmaster and have enjoyed helping this compant relaunch and seen a lot of different changes over the years. It is a work in progress and always getting better, but has also allowed me the opportunity to spend time in New York and San Francisco on the catalog shoots. Who knows, given that North Beach really helped launch and promote the likes of Cindy Crawford, Daniella Pestova, and Angie Everhart and also featured Christy Turlington among others, there is a lot of history there. It can eat up my weekends and evenings from time to time, but c'est la vie. My experiences here have also allowed me to learn a lot about leather fashion and designers from Gucci to Escada, Versace to Dolce and Gabanna, as well as I have done well with this knowledge buying and selling the same fashions.

My Interests

Motorcycles, Scuba diving, windsurfing, roller blading, concerts, reading, cuban cigars, wines, movies, books, museums, MotoGP, and of course, my hammock.

I'd like to meet:

I prefer outgoing and friendly people. I love to smile and laugh and make others around me do the same. I am all for having fun as long as noone gets hurt, and have had enough of bitter shallow people. I prefer intelligent people who can communicate and who know who they are. Definitely bonus if you ride or like motorcycles If you are a member of PETA or a strict vegan, we are probably not going to get along. Actually I do not mind if you are a member of those groups as long as you don't try to change me, and in return, I will not force my views on you. I believe people make their own lives and appreciate the people who accept people for who they are most of all. I really don't impose my views on others, though I do lead a healthy lifestyle and try to avoid artifical foods, but hey, I am only human. I love steak and meat, and wear leather, so if any of those bother you, my lifestyle is probably not to your liking. Intelligence is sexy and I particulary gravitate towards people who like to think, but also know how to have fun.

Music:

Movies:

Braveheart, Caddy Shack, Animal House, Fletch, Se7en, Fallen, Exorcist, Halloween, Billy Madison, Dumb and Dumber, The Notebook, Serendipity, Shawshank Redemption
