An awesome place I've visited:

the road: converting my new [used] cargo van into the ultimate road trip vehicle. took first successful 1800 mile road trip with my dog through the smokey mountains to asheville, nc last summer ....spent five days this summer van camping and hiking in the adirondacks....amazing to think that 6 million acres is only a few hours away from nyc to do/go list: marfa badlands great plains back to the adirondacks

My life history in 5 sentences or fewer:

Born and raised on the Upper West Side, Ex-Park Ranger, Ex-Museum Instructor, Ex 80's Beefcake, Ex Gym Owner, Current art/editorial photographer of half-naked/naked bodies [seeking the nexus between art and commerce]____ btw- For those of you not familiar with West New York, NJ....if you jumped in the Hudson River at the 79st boat basin and swam straight across you would be in West New York, NJ [albeit wet]

Obscure knowledge I possess:

Bird watching.

I have a weakness for guys/girls who:

possess a dirty/smart/funny/open mind__ are not too tied to a particular outcome__ want to take that road trip to Marfa__

For me, a first date no-no is:

using the word "soulmate".

One thing my mother would want you to know about me:

I am a mensch.
