About me:

“It was a dark and stormy night.....,” Ah, wait, that's not how it goes. We are mostly defined by our families. I'm lucky. My Family Rocks. We get along fantastic together, laugh, challenge each other, and are a professional bunch: Doctors, Attorneys, Engineers – Just don't ask us to fix your toilet! Now, back to me – It's all about me here, right? I guess I was the so called “Black Sheep” I guess I was just curious and adventurous. My Mother will tell you stories of how I would escape the house and walk miles away and engage with people/groups and find my way home when I was five! On one trip to Disneyland my family went one way and I found a new family to hang out with. Then my New Family took me to the missing children's center and this comes over the loud speaker: “Would the parents of Eagle please report to the missing children's center!” So, I wanted to be called eagle then. I think I was about eight or so. Someone needs to help me write a book about me and my friend's childhood. You wouldn't believe the things we did. I stand in awe of the irony of today's children and my youth. I was NEVER home. I wouldn't come home until about 11PM on weeknight. My pact with my parents was as long as I received good grades, I could pretty much do what I wanted. I had a fantastic time. So, after prison camp (12 years of catholic school) I went to college. I was amazed at how much my parents learned when I graduated from college! Received two degrees and came back to start my careerer in the IT industry. I've pretty much accomplished all you can in the IT industry and started several companies. Some people call me a serial entrepreneur. I'm good at being a visionary and see clearly what is coming next. Now that the IT industry doesn't allure me, my focus is on the next wave of technological revolution – The Biological Age – ooh, ahh – scary. But, that's another story.

I hang the toilet paper "over" and squeeze the tooth paste tube correctly & put the cap back on! Additionally, I run with scissors, leave the fridge door open, lean back in my chair and don’t wait 30 minutes after eating to go swimming..... (Oh, this is supposed to be serious.... ahem,)

In general I'm honest to the core, happy, energetic, playful, and a confident man. I've been around the block. I was married once for 15 years and have one son, Gianni (AKA Jesus. He looks just like Jesus – Prove he isn't – hehehe) I love to laugh and make people laugh. I play competitive soccer twice a week and try to stay in shape. I can probably out run you! I love to travel. Love romantic evenings out or at home, love the beach, love the desert. I love the outdoors and being active. I love kissing – let me say that again. I get lost in the throes of kissing for hours and love every minute. I love pleasing a woman, slowly. How about feathers, champagne, and a bath with bubbles!

Please, if you didn't receive enough hugs from your family and want to give me Drama – hit the Next Profile link up there – Go on! I meet a lot of people in my industry and I've learned that mental intercourse is much more important the older we get. I'd rather make love to your brain than your body. That is what I enjoy most. Love to hear your story, maybe!


My younger friends on Myspace tell me that my name, Pretto, is new social niche venacular meaning: PREP+ GHETTO = Pretto. How funny is that? ..
