About Me


I'm not into pre-defined labels of acceptance, I am against confining myself to such childish ways of thinking. I am a very ecclectic person and have a very wide range of tastes. By day, I am a prominent banker. On my spare time, I enjoy a wide variety of things. I enjoy nature and will delve into photography, my main influence being Ansel Adams. I truly enjoy anything that challenges my mind and teaches me new things. I enjoy museums, traveling, road trips, art galleries, poetry readings, drawing, learning new languages, reading & writing, learning about different cultures, etc.I enjoy meeting people who can teach me things. I am against Bush for the most part. I do not consider myself a liberal, however. I am an independent, with very radical and new ways of thinking. I do not like circuises that employ animals, rather, I enjoy things such as Cirque du Soleil. My wild side has tamed a bit recently. I do not attend concerts or clubs as often as I used to. I think my favorite thing to do now is to sit in bed with a good cup of coffee chatting with someone highly intellectual in nature. So that's it...if you wish to know more...drop me an email ;)
