Hi! Thanks for reviewing my profile.

I am originally from Northeast US and super fortunate to have resided in the Caribbean and Europe. Living abroad was rewarding personally and professionally. These experiences opened my eyes to new cultures and different ways of doing business. Some of my closest friendships were formed while traveling around Europe and I'm good at keeping connected with the important people in my life.

I've been living in Northern CA for a few years and I'm really happy here. In fact, by day 4 or 5 days of most business trips, I can't wait to get home. That's a good sign.

I'm seeking a committed relationship full of new experiences.

I've been in financial services IT for some time with many rewarding experiences and successes to reflect upon.
I enjoy traveling so every 2-3 months I am trying to determine where to go for a get-away. Favorite recent destinations: Singapore and Tulum, Mexico.

my job; being a good friend; mentoring; and comforting people going through a rough time.

My smile and laugh. Also, people assume I am from the Midwest, so they are surprised when I say, "I am a New Yorker!" Basically, I don't have a New York accent at all.

- Travel plans to countries I have not visited yet
- Personal and professional growth
- Settling down / Establishing roots

Out with friends at a restaurant, wine bar, jazz club, or cocktail lounge. I work from home a lot so when Friday rolls around I am itching to get out & about. I enjoy socializing and simply meeting interesting people.

Quite a bit is shared already in public, so let's get to know each other and I will disclose more as appropriate.

- You believe we could have a great connection.
- You're genuinely interested in a relationship based on trust, honesty, partnership, communication, respect, and want to have loads of fun.
- Not just seeking a "friends with benefits" relationship.
- You are willng to connect by phone and meet in person to determine if we actually have chemistry.
