I'm Italian-American, born and raised in Chicago, moved to the bay area in 1995, very well-traveled (no way I can list all the places I have been to in this profile contact if me if you want to share travel notes/experiences!), romantic, extremely personable, quirky, goofy, philosophical, passionate, sensual..

I am stubborn at times, energetic, articulate, creative, perceptive, hard on myself at times, honest & genuine. I engage in the moment! Yet, despite being gregarious for sure, I also enjoy my solitude to ponder, write and relax.

I have an ability to make people laugh. Sometimes it's through wit and other times just plain bizarre, but I consider myself unique. I like to stay fit and active, I'm grounded and down to earth basically Ive been brought up right. I like people who are sincere and not phony and I think the biggest turn-on for me is great conversation.

Anyway, I am a big animal lover, love cooking at home, enjoying those glasses of fine wine, big music lover, like to grab coffee at local cafe's, movies, etc. but by far my favorite thing is sharing experiences/viewpoints through meaningful conversation. Can I have a hard debate w/o bad feelings? Of course!
