Interview

• If you have to pick one thing that everyone else should absolutely know about you, what would it be?
  I've got so many layers to who I am, and I'm unlike anybody else you'll ever meet. I think that's true of everyone, but this is feedback I've often received, so I think you should find out for yourself. :)
• What are your hobbies? What do you like to do in your spare time?
  Forage for mushrooms, hike in state forests, continuing education through online coursework, and sex. Occasional use of plant medicine has helped me overcome PTSD symptoms from my past, so although its not a hobby, I do use entheogens occasionally.
• What is your ‘niche’?
  Pleasing others and trying new things are at the top of my list of things I'm great at.
• How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or you are more of a homebody?
  I much prefer to travel, but I have not had much opportunity to travel. But if I have a prospective client out there who is serious about wanting me to come down, let's make some arrangements! I just ask that only serious clients reach out, because I've been ghosted the day before the flight was supposed to take place. That affects me for up to a week or more afterwards. Let's just have that mutual respect and I think we'll get along amazingly.
• What kind of diet and fitness regiment do you follow?
  I run with my dog who is still capable of taking those runs at his age. I run on my own. I'm eating a mostly vegetarian diet at the moment with lots of protein to help build muscle. Strength training is important to me also.
• What should others absolutely know about you?
  I march to the beat of my own drum and I live my life true to myself. I am unafraid to discuss the things that make others uncomfortable. No topic is off limits to me, and I'll always give you an honest answer.
  
  I'm fairly interesting. I listen to a lot of music you've never heard of in foreign languages. I also listen to a lot of music you'd probably love that aren't in foreign languages.
  
  I have a deep understanding of human emotion and the things that drive people to do the things they do, and I can understand anyone's perspective from any angle at any time. That doesn't mean I don't have my own strong moral compass. Certain things should not be tolerated regardless of the circumstances that led to someone's actions. But I tend to feel a level of sadness when someone cannot let go of negativity that results from ignorance or the projection of qualities that they are hiding from themselves at all costs.
• What do you enjoy most about yourself?
  I'm my own biggest fan, probably, so there are quite a few things.
  
  I rely on my grit -- my ability to get shit done and solve my problems even when facing obstacles.
  
  I enjoy my optimism and outlook on life. I've faced all my demons, and I've conquered them. I can accept and see the positive effect of every difficult situation I've had in my life.
  
  I appreciate my ability to release anger and forgive those who have harmed me while also understanding why I cannot allow certain people in my life.
  
  I appreciate the intensity of my emotions and the communication skills I've learned and refined over the course of my lifetime.
  
  And last, but not least by any means, my intellect is something that I am extremely grateful for. It has helped me to overcome adversity and to find a way while others had given up hope.
• Name 5 things that you can’t live without.
  Sex. I'm very much a total Scorpio when it comes to passion and intimacy.
  Music. It's like a vent for my emotions. Plus I like to pretend I can dance and sing.
  My dogs. Everyone should experience unconditional love and loyalty at some point.
  Exercise. The rush of endorphins is essential to my continued well-being and my ability to think clearly. I prefer to run or strength train.
  Meditation. Putting some space between my reactions and external stimuli improves my brain and mental stability.
• Tell us what you consider to be your greatest life experience.
  My greatest life experiences come from service to others. It's what gives me purpose. Making somebody else feel really good gives me immense satisfaction.
  
  Second to that, my most difficult experiences were some of the greatest and most transformational.
• What would you like your followers to know about you that is unique and even a bit personal?
  You can always rely on me to be mindful of your needs because I pick up on subtle body language cues. I can adapt my speech or mannerisms to any situation, which will make you feel comfortable around me.
• What makes you stand out from the crowd?
  My quit wit and ability to keep up with a conversation. I love to make the people around me smile.
• How do you go that ‘extra mile' in your life?
  Any way necessary to accomplish my goals. I will work harder and longer to ensure my success.
• What do you do for fun?
  I go running in the rain.
  I take my dogs outdoors.
  I read.
  I take classes to learn new things.
• What are your greatest personal traits?
  Intelligence, grit, passion, empathy, and friendliness.
• What’s your lifestyle? What makes you who you are?
  I am me because of all of my personal experiences. I live life to the fullest, often going a bit close to the extremes in life. But that's what experiencing life is all about.
• If you and I were on the beach having some wine and great food, what would you tell me about yourself.
  I might tell you about my work as a software engineer, or perhaps I would tell you about my female dogs (more often referred to as "my bitches"). I'd probably tell you about my values and what's important to me. But I wouldn't talk too much, because I would want to hear at least as much about you.
