About Me:
A maker who decided a long time ago that people were
important too and so started learning the non technical side
of life. Made up for it by starting to dance and perform and
be outgoing - things that give balance to being an engineer.
I have a beautiful little boy who I never get to spend enough
time with. I'm a third generation native californian recently returned
home to the bay area after escaping the horrors of a year of
my life spent in southeast Missouri.

Who I Want to Meet:
Folks who have managed to learn and be educated without
losing their sense of wonder (or fun). Capable accomplished
people who never forgot how important it is to play. People
who prefer not to be one of the "norms". Failing that,
Nikola Tesla and Benjamin Franklin would make fascinating
dinner guests.

I meet the Right Honorable Mr. Batty
whilst working a show in LA, making
sure my little droogies were passing
out the candy to the willing victims.
Along walks this tall drink o water
and his small harem of ladies and a
conversation ensues.
I was in a rare mood as some less then
bright monkey's had just tried to mug
me shortly before hand when I had gone
walking outside.
Somehow this was found to be
entertaining to Bill and his bevy o
ladies.
We spent most of the rest of the
weekend carousing around and enjoyig
LA and we ended up maintaining contact
ever since.
He is a man of almost infinite
compassion and a heart as big as the
sky.
If you are his friend you are his
friend totaly and without reservation.
Even if you a burned out old soldaten
like I am.
He deserves the best, even if
sometimes he needs a gentle reminder
and he remains one of the truly
shining people I have had the fortune
to meet and call friend
friendship, not blood. He teases me,
helps me through learning to be a grown
up, and dances a damn fine "Orange in
Bloom" (with straight wrists!)
He is also the very proud daddy of my
first "nephew". As soon as we can,
we'll rescue him from the depths of
Misery, where he's stuck at the moment.
friends and never gives up. Eighteen
years later and now 2000 miles make no
difference. I've stood for him at his
weddings and he has at mine.
Value the moments and value the gift
that is friendship. And forever hold it
against him that he dragged me into
friendster :-)
ago. Practicly grew up around this
man. All the fun times we have had
over the years developed into such an
amazing friendship. Bill was one of
the most amazing sources of support
when my own marrage failed. He's wise,
talented, honest, supportive and
simply one of the greatest friends I
know. He had turned into an amazing
father as well. I'm honored to know
him.
