I’m looking for a long‑term place where people communicate openly, respect each other’s boundaries, keep shared spaces clean, and enjoy connecting when the moment’s right. Your ad had exactly that energy.

A bit about me: I’ve lived in San Francisco since 1996, and I’m currently cat‑sitting in the Outer Richmond — but I can move anytime in September if the room becomes available sooner. By day I’m a recruiter, and by passion I’m a filmmaker. My last climbing film was Rockaholic, and my current project is Climb On. Rock climbing is a huge part of my life — I climb several times a week, and I run a small climbing group where I take people outdoors on weekends. Community building is something I really care about, whether through climbing, work, or the people I live with.

Outside of climbing, I cycle daily (usually 7–14 miles), do HIIT classes and Zumba, go to the movies, volunteer, and spend time with close friends. I love connecting with people, sharing a laugh, or swapping stories from the day — but I also have a quiet, grounded energy at home. After work, I’m pretty mellow. I usually wind down around 10pm and go to bed around 10:30/10:45, I am up by 7am and often away most weekends for climbing and camping trips. so I really appreciate a household that respects quiet hours and gives everyone space to recharge.

I’m big on communication, clarity, and respecting one another’s space. I’m friendly and social, but I also know how to read the room and keep things peaceful. I value keeping shared spaces tidy, and I’m extremely responsible — proactive about paying bills on time, steady income, great credit, and impeccable references. I’ve had a few long‑term roommate situations over the years, and I’m still close friends with them nearly 20 years later.

Your place looks bright, grounded, and fun — and the fact that you both climb made me smile. I’d love to connect further and see if this might be a good fit. Happy to chat by phone or meet in person whenever works for you.
