I'm a bit of a closet nerd; I love learning, I'm a big fan of documentaries, museums, and independent/foreign films. I love cooking and entertaining. I have a very blue collar work ethic; I work hard and play even harder. I have a degree in finance and currently in my final semester of law school at SMU.

My friends would describe me as quick witted, easy-going, confident, generous, kind-hearted, compassionate, and genuine. I speak sarcasm fluently, so you should be able to dish it out as well as take it.

I'm a romantic at heart and an optimist. Raised in a typical Italian household originally from the Philadelphia area. I'm a bit old fashioned and believe men should act like men. The death of chivalry has been greatly exaggerated. It's sad that woman are caught off-guard when a man acts like a gentleman; it should be expected.

Trying to be a true renaissance man; a gentleman and a scholar.

Brewing delicious craft beer, amassing an epic vinyl collection, bar trivia, people watching, and making others laugh. I also make the best Italian sub sandwich in the world.

Is it still possible for one person to significantly change the world for the better, or is it too late?

My bucket list that includes, among other things, shark diving, catching a marlin while deep sea fishing, opening a restaurant after I retire, making money from brewing beer, etc.

I also wonder if I could survive in the wild for an extended period of time if I was stranded, like Castaway.

Time travel and the universe.

Relaxing after a long week or going out with friends. Depends on what I feel like.

There are a few "chick" songs that I will totally jam out with when they come on the radio.

I don't need someone who has all of the same interests that I do, only someone who is willing to give as much as they receive. and will listen to the occasional opposing point of view.

- You're intelligent and open minded--the only thing that annoys me more than ignorance is intentional ignorance

- You're quirky and comfortable with who you are

- You're driven and passionate

- You have a genuine interest in getting to know somebody and making a real connection
