Interview

• What’s your lifestyle? What makes you who you are?
  I grew up in a small town in the south. You can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy.
• What are your greatest personal traits?
  I understand things analytically, intuitively, and I'm very hands on. I'm not just friendly, I'm nurturing and caring.
• What makes you stand out from the crowd?
  I have talents in a lot of different areas and I've had various careers. This has helped me adapt and stay happy.
• What are your hobbies? What do you like to do in your spare time?
  I'm a potter, good cook, do the gym or hike daily, spend time with my dog, reading, playing and listening to music, reading books, netflix later at night
• If you have to pick one thing that everyone else should absolutely know about you, what would it be?
  I find tolerance, patience, empathy and insight are valuable traits to embrace.
• How do you go that ‘extra mile' in your life?
  When my schedule permits, I spend extra time off the clock with clients. It's more important to me to do a good job than to rush on to the next thing.
  I've always worked on getting better as a person, both mentally, emotionally and physically. We are all works in process.
• What do you do for fun?
  I'm a pianist, so playing piano, chamber music, accompanying singers - this is more fun than you can imagine... digital gratification, and i don't mean computers. I love museums, performances, travel, love making, throwing pots, hiking, snorkeling and scuba when possible. I love a good book, and read as much as I can of the New Yorker, National Geographic, NY Times, and other periodicals.
• What is your ‘niche’?
  My niche would be a great masseur, an artist with touch, unafraid of human sexuality, and medical training to help clients with injuries, medical conditions, or those who wish to improve on their mental and physical well-being.
• Tell us what you consider to be your greatest life experience.
  Senior year an an undergrad in Firenze, Italia. I studied art and Renaissance history, Italian, piano at the conservatory, and gelato at Vivoli's
• How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or you are more of a homebody?
  I love travel, take me with you! I've lived in NYC, Rio de Janeiro, Provincetown, San Francisco, Charlottesville, VA, and i currently have my home in Palm Springs.
• What kind of diet and fitness regiment do you follow?
  I work out with high reps low weights to avoid injuries to my hands and shoulders. I use my hands for everything that I love to do most, so I focus on form and wear weight lifting gloves. Doesn't mean I'm not as butch as the guys pressing > 200. Sorry, but I eat anything I want - ice cream almost every night - don't hate me! Overall, I happen to like healthy foods and I'm a good cook.
• What would you like your followers to know about you that is unique and even a bit personal?
  I'm a musician, ceramics artist, medical professional, and more, but empathy is my greatest virtue.
• If you and I were on the beach having some wine and great food, what would you tell me about yourself.
  Ah, where to start? I would tell you anything, I'm an open book, but I would want to hear about you... that's where intimacy begins for me.
• What should others absolutely know about you?
  I always try to exceed expectations.
• What do you enjoy most about yourself?
  I enjoy that I have talents to share; am an excellent teacher and learner; & my playful sense of humor (what is life without laughter?). As a classical musician, I can entertain myself for hours delving into every human emotion and all the works of genius composers... a lifelong study. With my study of human beings, male sexuality in particular, I try to let my massage work create beauty, love, tenderness, strength, rhythm, ecstasy ... ending with complete relaxation, floating in a sea of tranquility.
• Name 5 things that you can’t live without.
  My dog, my Steinway, air, water and food - in that order... #6 might be sex :D
