I am a long-time advertising Creative Director and scriptwriter. The same job as Don Draper's job, if you're familiar with Mad Men, (but with slightly less drinking.) I feel compelled to constantly create things in my spare time as well as professionally. I am published on a variety of topics - mostly about wine and food, but also philosophy, travel, business and a couple of poems. Currently scripting a biographical documentary about a black opera singer.
I think I am well educated but am quite sure I'm very well traveled. I have lived abroad twice (Spain and Japan) and speak both languages with varying degrees of incompetency. However, I'm fluent in cunnilingus. (I just wanted to make sure you were still paying attention.)
I find beauty in all things ephemeral. I am intellectually captivated by films, classic jazz, Japanese art & furniture, SCUBA diving, the poetry of e.e. cummings, flamenco music, Western philosophy, Impressionism, English literature, and anyone who shows irreverence through wry, sardonic wit.
