Although it is impossible to sum-up all that I’m in this small box. I will give you the abbreviated version. I was born and raised in LA, CA and raised by my mother and grandmother and these 2 ladies instilled in me the old-school virtues of communicating beyond grunts and growns, how to cook real meals and not just mac and cheese, and how to be a compassionat and good listener. I’m an empathic and compassioned man who is comfortable expressing my deepest feelings, ideas and desires. some of the biggest influence in my life is Martial arts which I have been studing since the age of 6 and my Navy SEAL buddies who died during Iraqi Freedom. They both instilled in me the true meaning of dedication, hard work, and to never giving up. I was going to join the SEALS but I ended up going to grad school instead where I got a Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology. Yes I’m a shrink. When it comes to socializing I’m very flexible in all social settings, I can be reserved or outgoing I have no problem being the life of the party or letting others take the lead or spotlight. I have no interest in spending Monday nights and/or Sunday afternoons watching sports on TV, or drinking with the fellas. Especially when I could be with that special lady having an intimate and romantic evening. so if you think you could use a empathetic and affectionet man in your life just let me know I 'll be waiting.
