Off work, I’d rather be doing something active, anything on this list or just time in Dolores Park, Golden Gate Park or the Presidio, than sitting inside eating or watching others play.

At home  Vegetarian; I cook fresh, high-protein meals every day, and I’m happy to cook together.

Always up for

  • Beach volleyball

    Most Sundays at Ocean Beach.

  • Soccer, any time

    Grew up playing; high school team, and captain of my house team.

  • Surfing

    Occasionally at Pacifica.

  • West Coast Swing

    1.5 years in SF, after picking up salsa and bachata in Colombia.

  • Powerlifting

    At Fitness SF.

  • Swimming

    Casual pools are rare in SF, so it’s usually laps at a gym.

  • Badminton, table tennis or a casual game of basketball

  • Chess, in person

    I have the board.

  • Texas hold’em

  • Pool at a neighbourhood bar

Done that

  • Open-water scuba certification

    Colombia.

  • Shark diving

    Hawaii. Locked eyes with a tiger shark.

  • Two weeks of surf camp

    Puerto Escondido.

  • Improv 101 at Endgame

    Still looking for people who laugh at the same things: ideally drier, more British.

  • Skydiving

    Half Moon Bay.

  • Skiing

    Picked it up decently; the travel and cost won the argument.

  • A motorcycle I’ve owned for a decade

    Currently parked in India.

Bucket list

  • A skydiving licence, then wingsuit flying

  • A private pilot’s licence

  • Climbing Everest

  • Ushuaia to Alaska by motorcycle

  • Visiting something in space, and coming back
