I'm looking for someone to share my affection, talents, and desire for a better world with. I have interests that are grounded in conservation of the natural world, but extend science, other realms of politics, guitar playing, aquariums, and wildflower photography.
I am a dissenter from the destructive values of material consumerism, psychotic lust for wealth, anti-rationalism, and contempt for the living Earth. I divide my energies into some balanced (not terribly successfully) arrangement of working for keep a roof over my head, advocating the value and defense of the Earth, maintaining my own physical and intellectual fitness, and having fun along the way.
I take good physical condition very seriously, for my own sense of competence and capability, and to remain capable of a healthy and fulfilling life. It is important for a partner to also be in good shape, both to be my outdoor playmate and for the physical attraction that is vital, no matter how spiritually enlightened we are.
I have a photographic collection of almost every species of wildflower I've seen, and it's expanding to include mushrooms. I got my college degree in environmental studies, but as a topic for a daily job, I found it to be too frustrating and depressing, so I revived my younger hobby of fish aquariums and made a career of it, taking care of large systems professionally, while fighting for the Earth in my off-hours.
