About Me

"Anything that we scientists can do to weaken the hold of religion should be done and may in the end be our greatest contribution to civilization."
--Stephen Weinberg, University of Texas physicist and Nobel laureate physicist.
I live in Texas, I was born in Southern California, and I am one of the original old school skaters. I love to travel, New Orleans is my favorite city. Some of the pictures posted here were taken by myself from my travels.
"We are individuals and should act like it."
I like vanilla ice cream, strawberry shakes, and anything that has coconut and pineapple in it. My favorite cereal is Cap'n Crunch. I believe in ghosts and I do not like spiders. I am a loyal friend and a classic Scorpio in most respects. I am remarkably self-confident. I do not care what people think about me, really (well unless it is good). I love my life. I am very well educated and I enjoy engaging intelligent conversation, but I am easily and quickly bored by drama [queens]. I am an Eagle Scout and I can recite all of the words to the National Anthem. I believe that people are too quick to judge others by their looks and appearances. I still believe in the Golden Rule. I am very easy to get along with and a very likeable guy.
"Follow your heart, but trust your gut."
I am married to a great guy, David, we have been together since 1997. We were married at the Cathedral of Hope in Dallas, Texas, November 21st, 1998. David is a warm ray of sunshine, a brilliant flower on a parched desert, and an inspirational light in a dark universe.
This is a picture of David looking sweet in San Diego.

"Live every act fully, as if it were your last." --Buddha

Music:

I am mostly a classical music guy I listen to classical about 90% of the time (Mozart, Pachelbel, Faure, Rachmaninov, Boccherini, Puccini, Vaughan Williams, Borodin, Schubert, Vivaldi, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Bach, and many others).

I also enjoy New Orleans jazz, Fat Boy Slim, Boston, Gorillaz, Black Eye Peas, Hot Hot Heat, The Cure, New Order, Sum 41, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, Red Hot Chilli Pepper, The Cars, Boy George, Bee Gees, Chicago, Judy Garland, Billie Holiday, and trance/ house/ progressive style. The list gives you a good idea of what I like. Rap makes my eyes bleed.
