I attribute being the man I am today to the amazing efforts of my parents and the sacrifices that they've made for me. For that, I will remain unselfishly dedicated to doing the same. I value family very much and seek the same attribute in a woman.

With respect to my career goals, I've learned that if you take care of the little things, the larger pieces seem to fall into place. I definitely have a long-term goal in mind, but you need to be flexible enough to take things as they come. Such is life. It's all about the ride.

Ultimately, I like to maintain a level of balance in my life. I think this is extremely difficult to achieve as well as maintain, but there is no other way I plan on living my life. This means balancing time between my family and friends, my career and personal goals, and living life to the fullest extent and enjoying every minute of it.

I am very open and conversational, so I'd like to meet someone who is equally as outgoing and willing to express her own thoughts and ideas in order to challenge/educate me. I also think it's very important to take care of your body and mind, which is why I love to exercise and eat well, so I would hope for the same.

I am currently an Investment Manager for a financial services company in center city Philadelphia. I hold the CFP® Designation and I am presently a CFA Level II Candidate.

Making people laugh, being a great friend, most sports, investing (my job), exploring/traveling, appreciating the little things.

Wholehearted laugh and smile.

Favorite book recently read is How We Decide by Jonah Lehrer. Favorite classics would include Oscar Wilde series. Warren Buffet biography, The Snowball. Otherwise, I study a lot of financial material.

How to be a better person in all facets of life.

Going out with friends, staying in and cooking, laying on the couch with a good book or movie, studying, spending time with someone I care about (working on this part).

I used to steal my sisters diapers as a child as opposed to being trained to use the toilet.

You would like to know more about me and wouldn't be shy about meeting in person to talk and get to know each other. I think online dating is interesting in its ability to connect with people who you otherwise might not meet under more normal circumstances, but that doesn't mean it should replace the process of getting to know someone in person.
