I'm kind of a study in contrasts. I was Vinny (from My Cousin Vinny) for a year and I’m the undefeated champion of a TV game show. Although I’m an LA native, I’ve braved several Midwest winters, lived on the East Coast, and survived living in the Deep South. I'm pretty down to earth, but have a slight edge and often get mistaken for a New Yorker. I work pretty hard and love working as an attorney, but that doesn't define me. I'm close with my family. I love animals, especially dogs.

I recently opened up my own law firm, and am loving it so far! Outside of work, I set aside time each week for exercise (working out, playing tennis, and hiking), meditation, and the arts (classical, rock, and jazz concerts, opera, museums, theater, movies, art, etc.)--keeps me balanced and happy :) I love traveling and finding new adventures. Learning and personal growth are important to me, and I enjoy reading, going to lectures, and meditating. I'm an avid fan of college football and basketball, although my team hasn't done too well lately. I enjoy good food and wine, especially with good company :) And I like giving back to the community through charitable causes.

My eyes and smile.

Meeting up with friends for dinner and a movie, theater, concerts, or staying in and relaxing after a long week.

I'm looking for a woman who is beautiful inside and out, down to earth, easy going, kind, compassionate, smart, an excellent communicator, comfortable with verbal and physical intimacy, has a good sense of humor, family oriented, responsible, patient, resilient, maintains a healty lifestyle, is self-aware, has integrity, likes to try new things and grow, and is looking for a best friend and more.
