Donald Antonakos Matusen | 81

Donald Matusen is a deep conversationalist and earned the nickname “the Professor” at a young age. He is from Chicago and because of his progressive interests, several people recommended San Francisco to him as a place he might enjoy. And living here he says, “every day is an adventure”. He is grateful for the many interests that started and were nurtured by his relationships: abstract art, hula dancing, singing, and meditation. Dating and finding new partners is something that motivates him to keep trying new things, and he shares some of the ups and downs of trying to date during the pandemic.
