ABOUT ME:
Hola! Yo soy un Hispano Catolico de la ciudad de Nueva York - I am a continuous imperfection in the making but perfect enough for my lovely wife, Nita, and beautiful daughter Adi. Having grown up in the Big Apple I believe in everything and everyone. It's what happens when you have 8 million people propping and prompting you to be different and be yourself. I love chocolate and desserts and I've been told that if I ever cut back on them I'd be a faster triathlete. I don't understand the recommendation. I love museums and the theater and every kind of music and I have a terrible Barnes and Noble addiction. I love napping and TV almost as much as the outdoors and training. I am a city kid, having been raised in NYC, still I can't imagine a prettier place then the lakes, rivers, woods or backroads I swim, bike and run through. Everything is community and I try to serve it as often as I can except when chocolate and a book intersect with a bad TV movie and a couch...and a nap with Adi, Clio and Bella. My home is now Southie in the lovely and tiny city of Boston.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

My Grandmother just once more; waiting till heaven is too long. I'd like to meet my dad daily for breakfast and listen to his ideas on the world. I'd like to have Mom make me breakfast everyday and counsel me with tough love. I'd like to have met Jesus when he was human and had our same frailties and ask him how to love. Also too Moses and ask him what he thinks of our laws. I'd like to sit with the Prophet and listen to him as we watch CNN. 'Nita and my Adi, every night.
