I believe in being ambitious about the right things, which is sometimes harder than it sounds. I love food courts in cheesey malls and street fair food. I hate long commutes but never seem to get away from them. In terms of entertainment: 30 Rock, Mad Men, Downton Abbey, History Channel and Bill Maher pretty much sum it up. And as far as I'm concerned, Fresh Direct counts as entertainment. The last time I played a video game I was 13 years old. I like to give people time to grow on me so I don't put much weight on first impressions. I was an athlete in college (Division I), worked a bit in Silicon Valley and now I am a Software Patent Attorney for a law firm in N.J. I swim around 10-12 miles a month. I'm a social drinker at best and don't do drugs. OK, I tried the soft stuff in college. I was born in Brazil, but was raised in the Midwest and every person in my family was born on a different continent. I'm also a big time dog person. So bonus if you own a D-O-double-G. I look forward to the day when robots can do all our work - which is soon I hope.

Like everyone else: balancing work, play, sleep, relationships, hobbies, errands and finding time to set and work on goals. Staying in touch. Packing, then traveling, then unpacking (usually 2 weeks later). Sitting in traffic. Thinking about the future while trying to stay in the present. Making use of my weekends.

Electric shuffle. Taking breaks at work.

Obviously, my height. Then my hands, because they are slightly over-sized. Also, my smile, because its awesome.

History Channel, HBO, SirisuXM radio, Nonfiction, PBS, anything by Ken Burns, Tarantino movies, really enjoyed Argo, Sushi, Indian food, Thai food, pizza, and (drum roll) chai.

- Friends/family.
- Exercise.
- Comfort food.
- Travel.
- Humor.
- Down time.

How its weird when you suddenly realize that you've changed. Where I would like to live long term.

Staying in if work was hectic. Otherwise, out. Lately, in. I am not ashamed to admit that I enjoy lazy Friday nights.

My wingspan gives me some pretty serious hugging super powers.

You feel like saying hi and would like to share in the free airline miles I have on my credit card. No chicks with tattoo sleeves please...sorry, Brooklyn.
