In His Own Words
About him
I am passionate, visionary, and involved. I spend my time in various kinds of radical social change efforts. A major chunk of my time is creating and nurturing community--I have helped start two residential communities and a non-residential community network. Plus I help organize events focused on culture change and personal growth. I’m deeply involved with gender issues, consent culture, teaching relationship skills and diversity training.
I practice living in the moment while at the same time "planting seeds" that may take 20 years or more to grow. I'm ruggedly healthy, physically strong, lean, & high energy.
I live part-time in a suburban intentional community in Arlington VA, focused on activism and personal growth, and most of my time at a rural intentional community that operates a retreat center 150 mile west of DC in the mountains of West Virginia. I practice relationship anarchy/polyamory (and have since my teens). I have rich friendships, and I am looking for a lover and partner who values community as well as service to the world, personal growth as well as social change, intimacy as well as outreach.
In a relationship, I am supportive, positive, and thoughtful. I value honesty and openness, a willingness to take risks, to change and grow, to make space for the other person to grow in their own direction, to celebrate wherever the shared or separate paths may lead.
People tend to turn to me for expertise in everything from deep personal issues to computers to working with groups to real estate to safer sex practices. I have an encyclopedic mind, and more importantly, I do the research and I check my facts!
I have a strong creative side that expresses itself in many ways, including making music, starting businesses and non-profit organizations, solving problems of all sorts, creating social networks, and writing articles on psychology/personal growth/gender/alternative lifestyles/health/science/... A friend told me "You don't think outside the box-- you don't have a box to think outside of!'
About his ideal match
Concerned with the state of the world, and optimistic enough to do something about it. Appreciate connecting with a partner's friends and other lovers. Open to deep intimacy, enthusiastic sexuality, cooperative activity, joyful play.
