Hello, my name's Brian. I'm clever, kindhearted and funny. I spend a lot of time mercilessly making fun of people I care about AND being a complete goofball. I have a real appreciation for family, biting wit, puns, imagination, empathy, marine life, and the zoo.

Some other interests are magnets, singing loudly, dancing, children, local farms/food, springtime, green tea, meditating, good public transportation, and tailgating.

Back sweat really annoys me.
almost as much as Ashlee Simpson's new face.

I'm in my third year of medical school, spending a copious amount of time working in the hospital.

The more important question however, is "What do I want to do with my life?" I have two very strong callings. The first is serving the needy. Call me corny or cheesy, but damnit I love justice. The world often manifests in upsetting ways and I can't help but want to dropkick it in the face into a more fair and caring place. I feel I am best suited to serve through medicine with my capable mind and fantastic bedside manner. I currently can see myself going into infectious disease, pediatrics, or palliative care/hospice. Whichever direction I choose, I do want to take some time off each year to travel to clinics (both foreign and indigenous) and provide the impoverished with free health care.

My second calling is fatherhood. I want to be a part of, and raise a wonderful family. My parents, aunts and uncles sacrificed so much to give me a GREAT childhood There is nothing that could fulfill me more than working to provide a safe, loving, and trusting home for my children to grow up in. (Side note: no worries. I'm not ready for children just yet).

high fives!, those claw machine games, napping, soccer, racquet sports, making people laugh, being present for others, fantasy football, and apples to apples

how personable I am. If not that, it's got to be my fantabulous hair.

doing something crazy with friends. I don't go out too frequently, however when I do get out, I really enjoy it. Especially if the night includes Big Buck Hunter, dancing and karaoke.

Other Friday nights when I'm exhausted I just stay in reading a book or watching a movie (OR ANIMAL PLANET). I really appreciate and enjoy solitude.

My three biggest fears are

1) house centipedes. doesn't sound scary? well look up Scutigera coleoptrata on google images. these mothers move at least 3.0 x 10*8 meters per second. and could probably swallow my face in one bite.
2) heights. there's nothing worse that the thought of plummeting to my certain and painful demise from a very very high ledge. or an airplane. UGGH.
3) abandonment. I grew up in a demanding Asian household, so I often felt that my father would leave me because I was inadequate. Not true anymore of course, but there's lingering neuroses.

you want to. I'm a great guy looking for an inspiring and caring woman to spend time with. soooo if you're interested or think we'd make a good match, message me.

especially if you'd consider grabbing some coffee. or tea.

ORRR want to go to the zoo. I'll show you the most egregious spelling mistakes ever.

oh yeah. and it doesn't hurt if you like to cuddle, spoon, and are a silk skinned goddess.
