I love to explore new cities and new places in familiar cities. Being outside rejuvinates me. I don't watch much television, but I live for good movies. I host dinner parties (yes, he cooks) because great conversation flows as freely as the wine. Hmmmm.... what else: family, close friends, intimacy, deep conversation, good wine, mountain biking, teaching spin class, baseball, camping, hiking, working out, snowskiing, being on a boat at sunset, getting lost in a book, gourmet coffee, cooking, traveling in style, working on my house, building my business

About me: Me = authentic, vigorous, successful, and open-minded. People tell me that I have an infectious laugh that goes well with a sharp (and occasionally self-deprecating) sense of humor. The most important things in my life are my son, my family and friends, my health, and my career. I work hard, but I play harder and more often. I take care of my body and mind because I plan to live a long, healthy, and happy life. I believe in living robustly a life full of diversity, curiosity, discovery, and balance. I have an innate desire to be at my best, to sublimate my life as well as the lives of everyone in my tight circle of family and friends.
