Hi! I like to think that being from Chicago, I follow what Chicagoans are known for: being genuine down-to-earth people who aren't seeking agendas and personal gains from anyone. It's how I am. The few people that are meaningful in my life, will always have a drop-everything friend to rush to their needs. I'll always watch out for, and take care of those who are similar to that, in my life.

Grew up in Chicago, did the Navy for four years, then came out to L.A. to act and did that for 10 years. No longer that. Now, I'm a longtime screenwriter as well.

I'm a life-long martial artist, catholic but not religious, read about buddhism, and value Japanese Culture and Oriental Tradition as part of who I am.

A big movie fan and feel a few define me, how I think, who I am, and some are quite dead-on to me. What movies define me? The Family Man, Lost In Translation, Body & Soul, Rocky, The Verdict, Groundhog Day, Black Rain, Heat, Casablanca.

What about you? What movies define you?

Have always worked professionally, but have explored other passions too, like screenwriting, acting, martial arts, motorcycling, real estate.

I'm more of a compassionate type, trying to help others and causes, etc. Not much of a sports guy, except for some baseket ball games (not many) but have practiced and studied the martial arts since high school through today. That was always my sport. More of a Seagal type.

If one can be too friendly, I suppose that's me but, I'm working on that. A sense of humor is how to live, I laugh often, find most things funny, am funny, and love that about a woman. Life should be measured by a laugh meter?

I work at being the greatest dad to my 14 year-old Peter Pan, and spend half the week with him.

Would love to find a great girl relatively close or in the Valley area, especially.

Love kids! Love dogs! Love life! Love Love!

Would love to love again.

Update:

Off on a road trip... Happy Thanksgiving, and stay cool!

A glass of wine, or coffee together. I keep thinking of the cliche the walk on the beach, because I haven't done that for quite some time. If that's too intimate for a First Date, something casual, really.
