Generally, I’m a pretty laid-back and easy-going guy. I always try to create a light-hearted and humorous atmosphere no matter the situation, because if you can't laugh, are you really having a good time?

I grew up in in NYC, moved to Pennsylvania with my family near the end of high school and then attended college in Philadelphia. After 5 years in Philly I knew I needed to come back to New York, so I moved back here for law school.

After all that schooling it's nice to finally be working, although I do miss being in school - there is really something special about learning about a wide breadth of topics (rather than the specialization in a single area that tends to happen with a job). I guess it fed my intellectual curiosity, but having a steady income creates a lot more resources for fun times.

I love music (although I'm much more of a fan than I am a musician). If I could, I would fill every minute of day with a soundtrack (even if it's just background music for whatever else is happening). One of my favorite things about music is how certain albums/songs/bands can fit any occasion or mood. I'm always on the lookout (listen-out?) for new bands to get hooked on (and inevitably listen to their entire discography).

I'm don't follow many sports, but I am a big hockey fan. I play in the rec leagues at Chelsea Piers. It is definitely the best way to exercise - I can't imagine any gym being as exciting. Watching is also fun but (given the Rangers' record these past few years) I think I enjoy playing more.

Well, after majoring in physics undergrad, I realized that it would be nice to work with people and not just particle colliders, so I decided to go to law school. Now I'm working at a law firm and otherwise enjoying life in the city.

Movies: While there are tons of movies that I like here are a few select choices: Austin Powers, The Big Lebowski, Clerks, Dumb and Dumber, The Empire Strikes Back, Fight Club, High Fidelity, Pulp Fiction, The Shawshank Redemption, Snatch, Swingers, This Is Spinal Tap. I've realized that I really like a movie with a narrator...I'm not sure why yet.

Music: The list could go on and on, but for the sake of brevity, I'll say that I like mostly anything you can describe as rock - from classic rock like: The Beatles, Clapton, CSN, Deep Purple, Hendrix, Mountain, Zeppelin; to 90s and modern stuff: 311, Alice in Chains, Faith No More, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Incubus, Muse, N.E.R.D., Rancid, STP, Tenacious D, Weezer, the White Stripes; to crazy metal stuff: eh...just message me if you really want to know... I also enjoy some hip-hop, rap and electronic: The Roots, A Tribe Called Quest, Jurassic 5, Mos Def, OutKast, Wu-tang, Infected Mushroom, The Prodigy.

Books: 1984, Maus, A Brief History of Time, seemingly anything by Chuck Palahniuk.

TV: Seinfeld, The Simpsons (from the 90s), Futurama, Arrested Development, Chappelle's Show, South Park, Louie, and the show that in my opinion is the funniest show currently on television: It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

Food: My favorite type of food would have to be Italian, but I don't think I can pick just one dish. But, I don't think I can live on just one cuisine alone, especially since we've got the best of everything here in the city. I'm a regular sushi eater. I'm always up for Mexican, Thai, or Chinese, and I've recently discovered Indian food (and now I can't get enough).

Music
comedy
hockey
good food
good drinks
and good friends with which to share all of the above.

playing ice hockey since that's the night my league usually has its games, but afterwards I'm usually out grabbing some drinks with friends or just hanging at home relaxing.

you have a warm personality and a good sense of humor – not that you have to make me laugh, just that I have a fair shot at getting a laugh out of you. Really, if you are just someone who is kind, caring and affectionate.

Or, just wink.
