I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Me? Well ~ I'm a loyal, straightforward fellow who values those things uncomplicated – in a casual, smoke-'em-if-ya-got-'em, way. Playing/hearing music and engaging in physical activities excite me a great deal. I lead with my heart because it has to be like that...............(the BBQ's also better on this side). Yeah, there've been the usual road bumps there and here; however, after 44 years I do believe I'm getting the hang of it -- so hang on! ____________________________________________________________ _Oh yes, and in the interest of full disclosure, allow me to append the above verbiage with the following: 1) In an appropriate gesture to sharks en masse, I stopped surfing at age 8; and 2) I’m just a regular kinda Pacific-coastal fella…not to be confused with those trendy, frilly, pretty boys that are in all the brochures.
