Interview

• What should others absolutely know about you?
  I genuinely enjoy what I do and a big part of that is helping the people I meet with explore new things, sometimes for the very first time. I'm pretty non-judgemental and open-minded. When you're with me, it's okay to ask questions, try new things, and just be yourself.
• What do you do for fun?
  To be honest, I'm a bit of a homebody. I generally read a good book, listen to music, explore a new interest on the internet, or I find a recipe for something that looks good from the web and teach myself how to cook something brand new, from scratch. I also enjoy spending time with my friends, playing with my cats (I have three of them), trying out new restaurants, and watching movies & theater performances.
  
  I also make lots of time to indulge in plenty of non G-rated activities with a few of my friends with benefits (you know who you are!). :-D
• If you have to pick one thing that everyone else should absolutely know about you, what would it be?
  The one thing that people should know is that I'm not into playing games or creating drama. If I make a plan to meet you somewhere, then I'll do everything in my power to get there on time. If that becomes impossible for some reason, I'll contact you to let you know with as much notice as possible and reschedule the appointment. And before, during, and after the time we spend together, you any information you share with me will stay between us.
• What is your ‘niche’?
  I'm the proverbial "guy next door": clean-cut, friendly, easy-going, and I've been told that I'm charming.
  
  I tend to dress casually - usually jeans and a t-shirt, or sometimes a button-up shirt or light sweater. I definitely don't dress to shock anyone! If a random person saw me walking down the street or even meeting with someone, they probably wouldn't think much of it.
• How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or you are more of a homebody?
  I love to travel, but I don't get the opportunity to do it often enough. I've got a few trips planned out for the year, so I'm hoping to change that!
  
  On the subject of travel...I've had people ask if I'm willing to be a traveling companion. The short answer is yes, but not with total strangers. Though I generally get along well with most people, I think it's a better experience for everyone involved if we meet and get to know each other a little bit first. If we're going to be spending a lot of time together, it makes sense to make sure we hit it off. For folks who are non-local, doing a video call (like skype) beforehand is another possibility. Honestly, I haven't done it that way yet, but I'm open to trying it.
• What do you enjoy most about yourself?
  There's actually a lot that I like about myself! But the #1 thing I pride myself on is that I always try my best to practice campfire rules when meeting with others. That means that I try to leave the guys I meet with in a better condition than they were in before I met them.
  
  In practice, that means that I do my best to be respectful, considerate of others, and to be as kind as I can be in whatever situation I find myself in.
