Most people describe me as relaxed, warm, open-minded, a good listener and conversationalist. I get along and find it easy to talk with just about anyone.

I have worked at some pretty diverse jobs including Newspaper copyeditor, Jungian Psychology Workshop Administrator, Wedding DJ, Tour Guide, Stock Trader, Landlord, Importer, English/Spanish Teacher and Interpreter. My career has never defined me, though.

For me, life’s most important mission is to know yourself, which I’ve found is best accomplished by knowing others.

In short, I value people, relationships, and experiences. In the end, I believe those are the most valuable things we take from this journey called life.

PS I'm also heterosexual and not on CS for dates.

PHILOSOPHY
The love you get = the love you give
Thoughts are things: think positive ones!
