I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm chill, always up for an unconventionally good time (but also seriously easily entertained by the mundane), probably a little too vain for my own good, have eccentric interests ranging from 18-wheelers to Broadway to Communist automobiles to painting to a most diverse variety of music to interior design. My continuing obsession would be communist East German-style architecture and looking for bulidings here in Southern California that look like they belong there - it's easier than you'd think...

My Interests

Travelling till we're broke, spreading the biodiesel gospel, automobiles, 18-wheelers (really), kitty cats, my wife with cute glasses, musicals, Bollywood, surfing, Texas, the Midwest, mid-century modern architecture and furniture (and their modern equivalents), painting, international travel, Communist relics, Deutschland, and driving in Deutschland....
