I am a man who loves to learn and experience life. I am gentle, strong, patient, accepting, and a rascal. I love to read, to cook, to exercise, and to think. I have many college degrees and try to use them in my life as often as possible including a culinary degree, a science degree, and a medical degree (so far). I love listening to people and learning their stories to know how their heart and mind interact. I respect different cultures and want learn as much as I can about them. I have traveled to Eastern and Western Europe and Central and South America while living all around the US.
