"True unity, and thus community, cannot be forced. It must be entered into willingly by those who humbly assent to actively participate in objective truth."

Catholic faith: Looking for those interested in practicing and studying the faith. I attend the Tridentine Mass at St Mary's Cathedral. Also looking for those who are interested in building local, national, and international Catholic networks and living communities to help increase solidarity.

Friendships: Any good relationship has the following characteristics: trust, respect, commitment to a clear and common purpose, open and honest communication, and conflict resolution. I am always interested in forming new and authentic friendships.

Dance: always looking for a dance partner and am particularly focused on West Coast Swing at this time. My other favorites are Argentine Tango, Bachata, International Rumba, and Slow Waltz; I also do Cha Cha and Salsa; I have done very little Balboa, Two Step, and Nightclub but would like to learn and do more. I started dancing with Mario Alvarado at Amora Ballroom in February of 2009. Mario is a good dancer and teacher who started learning from Arthur Murray Dance Studios in the late 1990's and has been dancing and teaching since then following USISTD standards. I have also had lessons from Alamo West Coast Swing, Esquina Tango, Austin Uptown Dance, Fandango de Tango, Austin City Dance Club and others.

Martial arts: I love sharing what I know and learning new things. Style is not as important to me as practical concepts. My core is Boxing, Tae Kwon Do, Wing Chun, and Kali/Escrima and I'm interested in working with all levels and styles. Working with those in Taiji, Aikido, Jujutsu, Thai Boxing, and Brazilian Jiujitsu particularly interest me at this time.
