Male

I'm outgoing and social, and get along with most everyone. I organize a social club here in SF, so am discovering lots of new venues this year all around the city. I also like to write, swim in the ocean, explore new restaurants, and participate in men's circles. I have a love for animals, and am especially a dog-person. In my creative life I'm a poet and a writer. I used to teach kids creative writing. I am also the founder of a haiku poetry website.

I was raised in Southern California, in a town named La Crescenta which borders a region of wilderness where coyote roam. Occasionally they'd venture out into our street. Most summers of my early childhood I spent fly fishing and wandering around the lakes and farms near Twin Falls Idaho, where my grandparents lived. Later my parents turned me into a traveler, and I've kept this orientation ever since. Early highlights include a year in Tahiti, and a 40 foot trimaran sailboat that my father built with his own hands, then later sailed across the Pacific. More recent travels include Thailand, Philippines, Hong Kong, Canada, England, France, Spain, Morocca and India. On two occasions I've trekked across the United States; once from LA to Denver, and again from Phoenix to Oklahoma City. I've also lived for years in London. Most people dream of great travel adventures. I've been fortunate to have lived them.
