More about me:

I am a very down to earth spontaneous guy. I am 35 years old and I live in Burbank, California. I am a musician,actor, jazz pianist, recording artist, and music teacher and musical director and vocal director. I love to have good time and I workout everyday to stay in good shape. I work as a personal assistant to the Southern and Northern California head of sales for Pearson Education ELT for ESL. I also am working on writing and scoring for a feature film. I love to spend time with my dogs and I love do things outdoors. My hobbies other than music are refinishing old furniture, I am an avid Lakers fan and I love to spend time going hiking, rollerblading, and I do pottery and clay work as kind of therapy. I am very creative and I am working on developing my own business currently. What I am looking for in a woman is someone who is outgoing has a great sense of humor and is very spontaneous. I am looking for someone who is in great physical shape and is athletic and fit. Honesty is a huge deal to me in a relationship and I am looking for someone who loves life as much as I do. My sense of humor is very much that I like to laugh and to make people laugh but my humor comes when I am trying not to be funny. I believe chivalry has not died and I am a perfect gentleman always. I think that is a thought that is lost on most men these days.

I am musical, intelligent, and chivalrous
What I’m doing with my life
I am a musician,actor, jazz pianist, recording artist, and music teacher and musical director. I am working to develop a furniture refinishing business and to start my own theater company. I also worked with people who have developmentally disabiliites with autism and asperger syndrome for 5 years.


The first thing people usually notice about me is my smile and that I am personable and open and openminded. My eyes would be the next thing that people notice about because I have been told I have very beautiful eyes because of the color. I am the only one in my family who has eyes of the color that I have. My legs people notice in the summer time especially when I wear shorts. On my smile one more thing that people say that when I smile in pictures it is so natural and that i light up a room when I meet someone whether it be a friend, someone in business or someone I am very close to.

Other things people notice about me if I am around a piano when they first meet me is my skill on the piano as a jazz pianist and also my ability to play just about anything. I also sing and I have been told by many that have seen me perform that I have a wonderful unique voice.
