About me:

I'm a silly bastard, true of heart and I want the best for those in my life. I do not compete with friends or family. My blood is the only connection between George Bernard Shaw and Jane Bowles. I've driven motorcycles across Cuba and Portugal, been a paparazzo in New York, worked at Enron in London, studied in Spain, skydived over Italy and camped in the Amazon basin for a week to get over an intense fear of insects; it didn't work. I saw death on that trip. It's not the first time: I found a suicide in the woods on New Year's when I was 13 (a boy my age named Michael). By serendipity I found out why he did it.

I know every tune about guys and girls and hurts and hearts and moons. I've been told more than once I look like an asshole, but I'm as friendly as they come.

I live in the East Village y hablo Espanol. I have a scar on my face and a tattoo on my shoulder. David Bowie and The Libertines are all-time faves (I'm always rooting for Pete Doherty to pull through). In the fourth grade the nuns at my Catholic school told my mother in a parent-teacher conference I wanted them dead. I did not.

I'm a big guy (6'3), athletic (185#), slim (32W x 34L) and pale (25% Irish/25% Dutch/50% German). I wore a suit to the office when I managed the assets of two of the founding families of New York City.

I've moved 33 times amongst 3 countries (US, GB and ES), 6 states (NJ, GA, CO, TX, PA, NY) and 17 cities. Airline family, not military. Then it was me. Before NYC is forgotten. I travel off the beaten path. These are the good ole days. Happy endings never bore me.
