I'm 25, I'm an attorney, and I live in downtown St. Louis. I'm into science, engineering, music, politics, economics, and other cool things.

I love to travel, I've been basically all around the world. I was in Japan for a few weeks this summer with three friends, it was an amazing trip.

I'm a fun person to talk to, you should give it a try sometime.

At the moment, working. I'm a patent attorney, I work mostly with international clients helping them patent inventions in the US. I'm also currently attempting to decorate and furnish my apartment, and getting to know downtown STL a bit better.

Well, I don't think I'm really good at anything, but I will say that I'm an remarkably adequate at a lot of things!

I think I'm a pretty good chef, I cook most of my meals for myself. I made chicken with Basmati rice and Dopiaza curry tonight, it was wonderful.

I'm a pretty musical person, I guess I can play guitar well enough to fool people into thinking I'm really good at it. Just don't let me try to sing (see below).

The completely random things I seem to know. I watch way too much Jeopardy...

How I would explain modern life to a time-traveler from the past.

OR

How I would attempt to communicate with an extraterrestrial (mostly using mathematics).

Quantum Immortality (look it up) and other cool thought experiments.

I enjoy reading about and discussing political and economic theory. I also read/think a lot about technology / science / engineering.

Working late, realistically.

I am a terrible singer. Seriously, just awful. I would make the gag reels of the American Idol auditions. I think my voice is just too low for most modern vocals, but that doesn't stop me from trying...

Also, I have plenty of really embarrassing stories about myself and my life that I'm more than happy to share once we get to know each other better.

...if I haven't messaged you yet. I try to respond to everyone, and if you've gotten this far I would probably really enjoy meeting you.
