I proudly label myself a nerd because I relish learning just about anything. I also recently bought a pair of thick-framed eyeglasses to augment the image.

In general I'm a wholesome guy with many passions. I'm loyal to those I care about, and beer makes me happy.

I work in IT consulting, and have always been very career-focused... influence of my New York City upbringing. Oh, I am originally from NYC, but Chicago would be the favorite of all cities where I've lived. Just have to get that out.

Outside of that I play in a local jazz band, and am really trying to improve my skills on tenor sax. I want music to be a major part of my life outside of the day-job.

I'm also spending much time training muay thai (kick-boxing) and am a bit of a workout junkie. But in any case my other passions include traveling, martial arts, snowboarding, writing, and other things.

Eating. yum!

I look half my age
