[Currently based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - but officially from Atlanta, USA]

I'm real, honest, no-bullshit, confident, driven, yet try to never take life too seriously. I'm a foodie. I'm a music aficionado and ravenous collector. I give incredible massages. I'm a big-city boy - having grown up in Atlanta - spent the past 5 years in San Francisco and I hope to live in NYC for at least a year at some point in my life. I thrive on the outdoors. I love time sitting in the sun, hiking, camping, mountain biking, running, and snowboarding. I'm selective with who I want to spend time and energy with but lucky I've met so many amazing friends in so many places. I enjoy talking about passionate issues, even among people with whom I vociferously disagree. I always try to give people a chance but also avoid people who are generally negative, pessimistic, or closed minded. I want to be a bartender before I die. I want to sail the oceans blue. I'm a fantastic kisser. I'm a horrible speller but have learned to use spell check quite well.

Independent thinkers. People with twisted senses of humor. People who respect for others, even if you disagree with them on important issues. Creative souls. International, intellectual, artsy, nutty, music loving, engaged, passionate, outdoorsy types. People with original ideas, enormous smiles, big hearts, inquisitive minds, unhealthy relationships with music, and intelligent sexiness. Maniacal globe trotters. Mutual massagers. Oh - and the Dalai Lama and Angelina Jolie. That would be sweet.
