About Me


First things first, if you don't know me, don't try to add me as a friend, I won't respond. Contact me first, introduce yourself, give me a reason to add you. And I'm not interested in dating, I'm married with a new baby, so don't ask!
Baby's here!! If you want to see pictures, click on the link to Webshots below!

I am a person of many interests. Too many probably. I love to travel whenever I get the chance. Recent trips include Kauai, Hawaii and all over Italy. Otherwise I love to spend time with my wife, family and friends. I'm an aerospace engineer, but I'm working toward being a real estate investor. These things take time. I also strive to be as knowledgeable about religions as I can, they just fascinate me. I also play drums, been playing tabla (north Indian classical drums) since 2001, and the drum set since ~1990. I enjoy martial arts as well. Currently I'm taking Wun Hop Kuen Do style of Kajukenbo classes in Seattle, WA.
