about me
I am a free spirit (or at least an inexpensive one), dancing fool, and chemist who also has a fondness for alchemy and other forms of magic. Alchemy is all about transformations; usually the transformation of "base" metals, such as lead, into gold. I eschew such blatant materialism and focus my energy on the transformation of knowledge and wisdom into joy. I love science and view 'natural philosophy', as it used to be called, as a method for deep explorations and respect for nature. When I am out of the lab I gravitate toward anything but logic. I have a particular fondness for Art in all its forms... visual, written, musical, film ...and on and on. I care passionately about human rights, freedom of expression, peace, people, our dear irreplaceable planet, and people - especially those who care about me.

I am down-to-earth, secure, bright, warm, open-minded, playful, generous, affectionate, and above all positive.

Knowledge without wisdom produces destruction.
Power without compassion creates suffering.
Abundance without love is emptiness.
“... there ain't no doubt in no one's mind that love's the finest thing around...”

With all the pain and sadness in the world and all my frustrations I am still struck by how very blessed I am with the love of my family and friends, my health and my talents. I dearly love you all.

Vaclav Havel who passed away this morning was a former President of Czechoslovakia, playwrite, free spirit, humanitarian, intellectual and champion of human rights, freedom, justice and non-violent protest and change. We were all blessed to have him among us and all poorer now that he has gone. The best tribute we can all offer him is to be faithful to his ideals.

My Testimonials (awwww...)

January 10, 2007
I got nothin' but love for this guy.
He's intelligent, thoughtful and always has a kind word to say. At times when my closest friends weren't there for me, Mark would leave me an email that day or comment on a photo I had posted. It really brightened my day.

He is always genuine and comes with good intentions. That alone is almost impossible to give 100% guarantee on, but I will stand by that statement with all of me.

If you're looking for a wonderful guy who's caring and will always have a positive and warm disposition nearly everytime you talk to him......look no further.

Thanks for being my friend.
