I have successfully made it out into the "real world" without getting stuck living a boring, repetitive, unsatisfactory life, so as far as I'm concerned, I have made it. I have traveled around a lot over the years but lately have been spending most of my time trying to advance goals and feel like a productive adult. I moved to DC after grad school and have been calling this home for a decade now. I run a business dedicated to making people fitter and stronger and it's my true passion. I spend my free time learning about exercise science, doing strength training and martial arts, foraging wild mushrooms, learning about plants and trees, and gardening. I love a good intellectual discussion as well as being silly and not acting my age. I am open and accepting of all lifestyles and orientations but to avoid misunderstandings here I find it important to clarify that I am heterosexual.
