ABOUT ME

Hello! I'm an educated liberal gay man who has lived in DC for 20 years. I am interested in meeting open minded people from all over the world. I work with University students, preparing them for the transition from academic life to their career. I enjoy trying new food, exercise, art, history, science fiction, architecture, and being social. If I had unlimited money, I would travel constantly. There is so much to see in this big beautiful world!

PHILOSOPHY

You can learn from any experience. What did you learn from the great experiences? What did you learn from the bad experiences?
