As I say frequently: If I were perfect, I wouldn't be on this
planet. So I'm continually seeking to learn, to grow, to improve. I
love to learn and love to meet people from any walk of life. I can
learn important lessons from the bellhop or a cab driver as well as
from a Nobel Laureate.
There are three principles that guide my life: fitness,
learning/personal growth, compassion.
Fitness: Physical/Mental/Emotional: We function on these three
levels. In order to enjoy a full, rich life, we need to be fit and
I expect my partner to be as well.
Personal growth/learning: Life is continual growth and learning and
wonderment.
Compassion: Both for ourselves and for others. I consider it my
"job" to make others' life easier. I'm not a missionary, but don't
sweat the small stuff. Let someone else talk so you can understand
them.
I expect my partner to share these values.
I've been blessed with great health, a terrific friends, incredible
mentors and teachers and a very rich life: traveled to all seven
continents and have done business on six; been integral to eight
start-ups, the last of which was sold to Oracle; initiated what was
probably the first joint venture between a US Fortune 500 company
and the Chinese government; raised two incredible step sons;
formerly a jazz DJ on a commercial radio station.
I enjoy a wide range of interests: fitness, travel, sports (esp.
baseball), food, wine, films (indies and foreign), nature, jazz,
art, animals, reading/learning, fashion and . . . .
I'm seeking a long-term relationship to share life with. Someone
who I can learn from. Let's explore life together!
If you don't live in LA or aren't planning to be in LA (San Diego
to Malibu to Pasadena), please don't contact me. I'm only dating
women from LA. Thank you. J
