Originally from Florida and moved to Northern Virginia for work about two and a half years ago. Opportunity brought me to Philadelphia in August, and so far the city has been pretty good to me.

For fun, I enjoy heading out to the mountains (seems like everyone says this in some variety) and exploring historical areas in the Mid Atlantic on the weekends. I have been trying to teach myself how to play piano the past month, and so far it has been going quite well.

For work, I am an electrical engineer focusing on the design of power systems for data centers, office buildings, and hospitals.

Working towards a professional engineering license with the intention of one day starting my own consulting firm.

Board games, problem solving, trivial knowledge, fixing things.

Most people would describe me as an introvert based on first impressions (I've been getting better with this), but I am very open with people I am familiar with.

Preparing for the future and analyzing the past

Playing Risk, Catan, or Poker with friends. Watching a movie or sports. Occasionally going to a happy hour with coworkers for a few drinks. Barcade is a great spot if you haven't been.

I love Antiques Roadshow...I can spot a quality antique a mile away.

You're serious about meeting someone, and you think we may hit it off.
