comfortable in my own skin infinitely curious playful with serious ambitions Practically raised by a Mexican nanny in San Diego who instilled in me an appreciation for the finer things in life like ramen, quesadillas, and a desperate game of charades. I was subsequently forced to be Tom Sawyer in a play because of my early distaste of fancy restaurants, nice clothes, and all things French. I eventually started wearing pants and my little businesses grew from the garage to the internet and manufacturing floor. Lifestyle-wise I'd rather go try to live with nomads in Mongolia than take a luxury cruise. I seek truly unique and original experiences, and if real life isn't interesting enough, I'll find a way to make it so. I spend my time in communities that I have a lot to learn from such as a Buddhist monastery, US military training, various cooperative living houses, an island where the natives had never met Caucasians before, and some cool countries. Long term I want to help usher in a more cooperative world. And then find somewhere quiet I can finish my book. https://www.facebook.com/john.uke1
