About Me

Hey Folks, I am a happy and secure gay man that runs an international finance and investment firm. I interchange the hats I wear for management and creative direction successfully blending the 2 very different roles. I have been blessed with great people and opportunities in my life and my career and I am a firm believer in getting what you put out there. Karma. Watch the movie - the Secret, I believe you pull in what you are asking for. Think Green People!

My Interests

Career, Bodybuilding, Food, Travel, My Partner and My dog, My family.

I'd like to meet:

I love creatives. I love good people. Mean people really do suck. I like architects (people that think and create) , but not wall builders (people that create stereotypes and hate.)

Music:

Love most genres - Even Country Music can grow on you. If I am working or relaxing I get off on Chill, Hotel Costes, World Music. www.putumayo.com. Big guys love to shake a butt, so the DJ that keeps us on the dance floor wins.

Movies:

Pay It Forward, Georgia Rules, BrokeBack Mountain, Transporter, Fracture, The Good Shepard, Invinsible, Blade, When a Stranger Calls (for the house), The Letter - Movies like these. I love to go to the movies on a big opening night to be part of the crowd and the energy or lack of it. Sickness I got as a kid standing in line for Star Wars and Aliens.

Television:

The Today Show - seriously, missing Katie. Anything that can keep me from getting up and walking away.

Books:

The Secret - I live it. This is where my ADD kicks in.

Heroes:

Myself - Being gay and out since I was 14 didn't leave me alot of people to look up to and I had to learn the most valuable lesson on my own - No matter who you are, you will have to pick yourself up and change your life. Nobody else is going to save you and the world owes you nothing.

Gay Hybrids

I call them Gay Hybrids, they run on less energy, they go, go, go, they have no problem with rejection - they see someone they want, and they go after them.  Now, these 26 + year olds are di...

Size Does Matter

I don't care what they say.  Size does matter!  It's the small things in life - the brief moment of suprise.  It is the smile that happens without knowing that it is about to take over ...

Right of Passage - I am ready now!

Gorilla Banks

What's an agenda?  Well, I think it can be anything - a want, a need or a desire.  But it becomes an agenda when it involves using someone else to make it happen.  For the longest ...
