Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio)

On the physical side, I play tennis three times a week and work out in a gym three times a week. To balance this out, my wife and I love to cook, bake and share food and wine with our friends. The SF Bay area is a great place to live and enjoy the things we like doing. I paint multimedia large-scale modern stuff for myself with no interest in selling. I love architecture, art and music and we attend subscribe to and attend concerts, ballets, and art shows. We travel to enjoy same things from another cultures and is what we do for big vacations. For mini vacations, we do extended weekends in northern California, were we live, and Colorado (wife's family) as breaks from our busy work schedules. Along the way we have collected art from various places and remodeled our house a couple times. It (house) seems to have become my big design project. Lastly, I do high performance love cars and tweaking them to my preferences. We have had high performance BMWs, since 1968 (pre-yuppie), and Porches and really enjoy the driving them. Our family car '91 M5 has 158K miles on it and is going to replace with '01 M5

Whenever time permit, I go scuba diving. Unfortunately, winter is the best time to dive and the water gets pretty damn cold (even with a dry suit).

CW: Throw in your girlfriend's '98 740i and the Los Lobos CD and we're talkin' heaven.

In no particular order: Univ of Washington Husky football; jazz and classical music; woodcarving and woodworking; scuba diving; underwater photography; international travel; good food and wine.
