Ok, first off, I just moved to San Francisco to try my hand at culinary school. sorry for the pics, but I don't have professional shots done...just random pics of me with my freinds.
So on to the things about me.. I'm 28 years old, over six feet in height, love my ridiculously large family, and was raised in brazil.
I have lived in Orange County for the last couple of years, and am really looking forward to not dealing with superficiality, and ignorance quite as much. I don't really like petty people. I just look forward to meeting genuine people out there.

I've been blessed to have traveled to various countries in Europe, South America and Africa. I speak a few different languages. I am looking forward to meeting new people, and seeing where life takes it.

Also, you'll find I'm known for my dry sense of humor and sarcasm. I'm very skeptical about this whole online thing and feel odd looking at people's pictures and reading a bio online...but hey, I guess if you're over bars then this is a good way to roll. I've realized this city is filled with douche bags, and unassartive men. You'll find me to be the exact opposite. I'm confident, blunt (sometimes a little too much for my own good) and being a taller guy, do carry presence) I am just now dabbling with dating for the first time in years after coming out of a marriage a little over a year ago. I've never had real issues meeting women before, but my schedule doesn't permit me to expand my group of freinds as much as I'd like it too, so I'm giving this thing a whirl. Also, I have no tact, or smoothe lines to give you on this site. That's not my style, and lets be honest, the whole random email contact thing is a bit awkward, so don't be shy to ask me anything, or just say hello. That's always a great way to start a conversation, and quite frankly, women are here just as us men are, I do not feel I have to email every girl out there, you're here too, so take a chance, and ask me something. I like women with initiative, and who want to cut through the b.s.
They say I'm good in a kitchen, hopefully now I'll be a real Chef... Drop me a line, I love meeting new people!

I'm open to pretty much anything except things that involve bear traps and clowns. Those are my two bug-a-boos.
