I believe that life is a fantastic journey of creativity and wonder, at least for those who reach out and truly experience what life has to offer. Life is of course what you make it. I have found that success is not the key to happiness, but rather that happiness is the key to success. If you love fun and freedom and harmony and beauty, you will be successful, in life and all else.

Background-wise, I grew-up in Newport Beach, CA, school at UC Berkeley then University of Hawaii. Also lived in Alaska flying planes and writing. I've traveled worldwide, e.g., South America, the Himalayas, India, Europe, flying and photographing. I enjoy travel and outdoor activities. I spent many years as a photojournalist and love photography. Also hiking, trekking, camping, the beach and any fun place. Working out is important to me, 4-5 times a week. At home, I like to read, watch DVDs, cook, and just relax. I'm a marketing specialist for two local corporations, which brought me to this area. Focus on web-based marketing, eBay, Amazon, and so on. Currently working on a new book. Like music, older rock and roll, jazz, contemporary, classical. I actually enjoy shopping, and especially enjoy weekend trips. I'm a big fan of theme parks like SeaWorld and the various Disney attractions.

I tend to stay very busy, and don't like to go out to bars or clubs, at least alone, so it's been difficult to meet anyone in this area. This site looks promising, so I thought to give it a try! If you're interested, please let me know. Thanks for looking...

(Sorry my photos are not better, they're the only ones I have; it's a bit difficult to take good pictures of oneself.) I photographed the Jaguar prowling near Uaxactuan (Guatemala, 2001). Nikon F5, 500mm Nikkor lens.

We can meet for coffee or lunch, or go somewhere fun outdoors if the weather permits. It doesn't really matter, whatever you prefer.
