I'm a laid back, big hearted, gay bear guy looking for someone to share my heart and bed with. I'm originally from North Florida, and this is where I'm living now (December 2010)I was married twice, to two different women. My first wife was a Thai woman I met doing research in Thailand. I lived there for three years. I speak Thai Fluently. I also lived in Taiwan for several years and am fluent in Mandarin Chinese. I also speak French, Spanish, German, Esperanto, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, and even Russian, I'm presently also learning Indonesian and Japanese. I went to college to study the piano and music theory, I taught the piano for many years. In May of 2009, I had a severe stroke that left me without the use of my left arm and hand. I'm a Java and visual Basic programmer and web designer, I'm politically a leftist and religiously a Buddhist.
