I've finally reached a point in my life when I can afford to have a little fun. I enjoy going out on Fridays and Saturdays, having a nice dinner somewhere, then listening to live music at one of the local bars. I love rock music and know several of the local musicians. My musical interests include rock from the 60's and 70's, some modern rock, and some jazz.

I try to be open and honest with the people I know and expect the same from them. I have a liberal point of view, and although I respect other people’s values and beliefs, I am most comfortable with people that have similar beliefs to my own.

Professionally I'm a industrial designer for a local company. In my free time I enjoy going to art shows and exhibits. I am also a woodworker and design lamps, chairs, picture frames, and other furniture in my spare time.

One of my other interests is sports cars. When I graduated from college I bought a 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider. I've owned it for 28 years now, and rebuilt it 3 times. I also own a 1993 Mazda RX 7 twin turbo and a 1991 Toyota MR2. I go to all the local car shows and exhibitions, and I’ve been a member of the Alfa Romeo sport cars club for 25 years.

Keeping myself in shape is also very important to me. I exercise at least 4 times a week. One of my favorite ways to exercise is to ride my mountain bike in Cherokee park. There are several trails in the park that I ride on a regular basis.
