ABOUT ME

My favorite thing is to travel. I've been all over the world (I've been to over 50 countries so far) and yet I still feel like I haven't seen nearly enough. I was born and raised in Los Angeles and I'm living there now. Previously I was living in Australia and few years before that I lived in New York City. I've also lived in a few other spots as well.

I recently came back from an extended trip around the world

I love to eat at nice restaurants (locally and even more so when abroad). I'm a bit of a foodie who enjoys tasting new dishes and exotic cuisine. In my downtime, I also like to read, go to the movies and to the theater. I love the beach and the mountains and go whenever I can. I also enjoy keeping in shape by playing tennis and practicing the martial arts.

I'm a single guy (currently totally not attached to anyone). No kids. I'm told that I'm a pretty good looking guy and that my social skills aren't too bad either. One of my favorite things is to have a good conversation with an intelligent person. So you don't have to worry about taking me out in public or introducing me to your friends and/or family. I'm house broken and everything.

I don't smoke or do drugs. I'm not against those things; I just don't usually enjoy them personally. I drink socially, but I'm not a huge party animal. I find that there's lots of other ways to have fun when you're sober. It turns out that sometimes you can even have fun when you are sober and have clothes on. Shocker, right?

PHILOSOPHY

Be honest with yourself and with others. Learn from your mistakes. Try to make life as much of an adventure as possible. And above all else live in the now and be present.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done and seen some pretty amazing things. One highlight was waterskiing in the grand canyon. Another was backpacking through Japan. Riding a camel around the great pyramids in Egypt was pretty fun too.

Teach, Learn, Share
