Hello everyone. I'm brand new to New York City again (well after a relatively long 7-year stint in Philly for an MD/PhD program that I just completed) and looking to meet people and hopefully the right man. I'm a fun, outgoing, conscientious, and smiley guy who enjoys laughing and having a fun-filled evening as much as staying in and cooking dinner together (one of my favorite activities...I throw dinner parties frequently and few things are better than cooking with a partner). :) I try to live life with as much energy as possible, and that is what I am looking for as well in a partner.

I'm a warm and compassionate person and expect similar attitudes in those I date. I am attracted to those who are strong-minded, sensitive, devoted, and who wake up every morning excited for the day ahead (okay, maybe that's a bit optimistic, but nice to dream, right)?

Ultimately, I would love to settle down with the right guy and to build a life together, both synergistically reinforcing each other's strengths and values in life, and having a lot of fun along the way!

I just graduated from an MD/PhD program and have started my Neurology residency at Cornell in the city. Now that I've completed my eternal schooling, I'm excited for my first real job and where I can finally start practicing medicine and continue my research endeavors. Ask about my research and I'll try to make it exciting...I promise, I'm good at that!

Otherwise, I'm very much into crafts...cooking, baking, clothing design (recently started selling things), gardening, glass-blowing occasionally, etc. In general, anything that I can learn to make myself, I enjoy doing!

Being creative and making things (whether it's clothes, blowing glass, painting, or a mess in the kitchen), cooking, organizing, research, talking to patients, being a good friend, laughing (lots of experience)

the future (probably too much) and how to use events of the past to shape my future

Either out with friends or home relaxing from a busy week

I'm an open book once you get to know me. :) Not a fan of secrets.

you think I sound interesting, have values that you share, and would like to get to know me better. )
