I am an east bay native, grew up in Rockridge and have lived in the area my whole life. I've been to Europe a few times and like to travel to other places too.I am looking for a relationship with a woman around my age, someone that perhaps is also a parent like me. I want to find someone that understands both love and respect and how to treat others decently. I am a trustworthy and straightforward person, but my humor can be sarcastic too. I am very liberal politically and hope to find someone that shares my values.I am a mechanical engineer, work with HVAC and solar. I have designed building systems for everything from hospitals, schools, high end residential, breweries, high tech, laboratories, etc. I got my degree at Cal Poly and I love my job and career. I did "Mr. Mom" for a number of years when my girls were young and I had my own consulting business during that time. However today I have a great job with a local firm here in the east bay. On several occasions, I've visited my girls' school to teach at their classes about science and solar energy. This is one of the most rewarding things I've gotten to do; seeing the young students engaged is awesome. I volunteer a lot with my engineering society; I was formerly the president of our local chapter. My philanthropy with this group includes both leadership and advocacy roles. I am driven to make a difference.I am very passionate about these aspects of my life, but I do play hard too :-) When I am not doing the engineering thing, I enjoy indy/garage rock music, craft beer, traveling, and most importantly, parenting and being with my two girls. I love R.E.M.;little broken hearts". I've been fortunate to have met several musicians from some of these bands, they are so cool. I don't know how to play any *** I aspire to learn how to play guitar someday.I love to cook too.Finally, I must explain that if I contact you with an introduction, it's because I would like to learn more about you and perhaps meet. It means I am interested. But my message won't be very long. I can do the "old fashion" thing here to a degree. I can be charming but only if I know you are receptive. We either need to meet or chat before I can pour it on. So please reply if you are interested. I need to have that feedback before I can be charming. I am pretty open, A good first date could be meeting on a weekend morning for coffee, lunch, or a drink after work. During that first date I would look forward to learning more about what makes you tick and determine if we have interests and values in common. I am a good judge of character and can usually quckly know if I am on the same wavelength with another person.

So about me...Dreamer/Thrill Seeker/Entrepreneur/Rebel/Sell Out Artist/Lovely DegenerateNot lame enough to be preppy... Not dumb enough to be jock... Not depressed enough to be goth... Not isolated enough to be nerd... Not fake enough to be trendy. Though I do borrow a little for all of them. Artistic Ambition, High Expectation, Creative thinking, Prize Chasing, Life Challenging, Spontaneous Action, and New Experiences are some of the best elements to a great life and relationship. "If It's Real, You Feel It!""Variety is the Spice of Life." That pretty much explains my musical taste. I have my favorites such as Metal, Industrial, and Southern Rock but I like many styles. The only forms of music I don't like are those intended to sell jeans, phones, make up, or some other product to teenagers.About the "Variety" quote... it's good to have similarities but it's also good to have differences. I want to show her who I am but I also want see who she is. In this profile, you might notice a picture of a book. I am one of the 50 authors telling my story about Overcoming Obstacles.All the art work in mine too. Good read for today's challenging times. Walk on the beach, visit art gallery, cruise through Downtown, wine tasting.

I've been an artist most my life. A tattoo artist 15 yrs now. And noooooooo that does not make me a horney lil basterd.....that wants to run into everything I can!!! I haven't even gone out on a date in over 2 yrs, since I got custody of my lil' girl, who's 9 yrs old. I need stability- not a hook up. Soooo, a little about me. I like rock, regge, metal, soul,(pretty much anything). Im honest, laid back, & I like animals,(preferable to humans occasionally).I FINALLY quit smoking...LOVE my country, HATE my gov. I dont like fake-or crazy- people, and I'm allergic to- liars, cheaters, DRAMMA!!! I'm pretty quiet and calm. A single dad, (it's a full time job lov'in my lil honey girl). And I'm a lil' more than an average kinda guy. Real and honest, clean and drug free. (I never had an addiction, nor do I drink a lot.) Im looking for someone that I can trust. Can you be a friend/mom to my lil' girl? Someone who won't run away when there's a problem, or run to their pill box! Is that too much to hope for? A nice dinner at quiet place, to get to know each other. See if we click, and go from there. (Im not a rock- climber or skydiver, so nooooooo thanks. lol...)
