I'm usually hungry. But beyond the primal, I've decided food is important for lots of reasons. But mostly, I like to cook it and eat it with people I like.

I went to college in the north east, worked in the bay for 2 years, then back to NYC for 5, now finally I'm home! r

I go crazy if I don't exercise regularly. I swam in college and still do. I think I'm happiest in the water.

For five years I worked in international development and helped entrepreneurs in Latin America and the Middle East raise capital. I used to travel abroad every other month and I'm itching to get back on a plane.

I own a food consulting business, which allows me to eat well and make my own hours. I'm also attempting to greet adulthood with grace and poise all while enjoying recklessly boozy brunches and engaging delusional fantasies of becoming a professional athlete.

Hand stands. Eating. Swimming. Hosting dinner parties. Teaching. Systematically filtering unimportant things out of my life.

We're getting the polling data back next week.

I hate favorites. But, the best book I've read in the last couple years is Joseph O'Neill's Netherland. Truly awesome. Just finished Freedom, Never Let me Go and a bevy of food related books. The best shows ever on television were The Wire and The West Wing. Music has always been an important part of my life. I've been stuck in 70s rock and of course the timeless grunge of the 90s, but with my brand new spotify account I plan to dive in to new music in earnest. I'm open to suggestions.

Food. Business. Career paths. Women. Swimming. Friendship. Frameworks for happiness. Politics.

I once decided to use the internet to meet women.

you like food or swimming, are inherently interesting, unique or inappropriately attractive (keep in mind these are "or" not "and" statements)
