I'm kind, honest, loyal, charming and an overall great guy who is driven to reach my potential in everything I set my mind to. However, there are also other things that I value, such as getting involved in community activies and trying to make a purposeful difference through my career and beyond.

Being that I have lived in NYC for a year and a half thus far, I feel like it's virgin territory for me to plant my roots. With that said, I love exploring the city. I enjoy bicycling through the city, visiting every park there is, patronizing various fine establishments for happy hours with friends and colleagues, going to ballgames, ice skating during the winters and flying kites during the real breezy and warm days, but that's just the tip of the ice berg. I even have a sort of bucket list that I plan on checking off while living here. Perhaps I'll share it with you.

As far as what I'm looking for in a woman, I'm looking for the same qualities that I believe I have. Someone who's willing to explore and be spontaneous with me on a drop of a dime since I enjoy a good adventure myself. Someone who is (to borrow a phrase from Charles Dickens), willing to be there through worst of times (yes watching mets games, although they are starting to win, woot!) and the best.

The most incredible thing that I can do as a career.

Apparently I'm good at writing 20 page papers without much effort.
I'm also able to drink really really hot tea without waiting for it cool down.

My smile and my ability to have intelligent conversations.

I found that I really enjoy searching through the rack of books that are outside of the Strand. Out of all those books, the anticipation of finding a gem is irresistible and can lead me to spend too much time on my search for said gem.

Quickly amassing quite a list of books that I look forward to reading.

(1) my toothbrush and floss
(2) backscratcher
(3) George Foreman grill
(4) Netflix
(5) career
(6) the sound of chirping birds

You know what, I'll keep adding to this list:
(7) IPad
(8) month long metro pass
(9) pert plus
(10) Quaker oat meal and peanut butter
(11) the ranchero who plays "la cucaracha" in the subway car
(12) yes jelly on eggs

What I can do without:

(1) dirty dishes
(2) bag full of dirty laundry
(3) Painfully slow Internet
(4) waiting for the train, while it slowly careens into the platform

About my profession and personal life.

Did I mention I enjoyed jelly on eggs? Gasp! ;)

Oh and I'm addicted to Lucky Charms. Seriously, do not put a bowl of Lucky Charms in front of me... It'll be gone!

If you think the George Foreman grill is one of the greatest inventions ever, feel the need to search for that gem of a book at the Strand, enjoy intelligent conversations laced with wit and charm and like to try the joy of eating jelly on eggs (trust me it's good).
