Hi! So, when I started OkCupid, I was a displaced New Englander going to college in Baltimore (hence the screen name). I've since moved back north, managed to find a decent job in a rough economy, and somehow cobbled together enough to buy a place of my very own in the charming hamlet of Lawrence. I love traveling and exploring new places, going to concerts, hunting down good coffee shops and restaurants, and hanging out with my friends. I'm also an avid motorcyclist, so if the weather's nice, you'll usually find me on two wheels.

I'm an analyst for a health system outside of Boston. I spend my day researching new healthcare technologies and optimization processes and helping develop plans for their implementation. I've also finally returned to college part-time to finish my degree, and I'm very eager to see where that leads me!

Cheering for Boston sports teams, taking things apart and putting them back together again, playing soccer (well, I was once upon a time...), getting completely lost and somehow finding my way back home.

When I moved to Maryland, I was told I have a strange accent...something about not pronouncing my "R's" properly. Now that I'm back in New England, I can say without doubt that it's the rest of the country that talks funny.

I don't read as many books as I'd like (my recreational reading is typically limited to news sites), but I'm a big movie/TV show buff. That's not to say I watch a lot of TV, but I really enjoy going to the movies when I can (especially IMAX!) and usually have one or two shows I'm watching on Netflix. My all-time favorite movie is probably The Shawshank Redemption, and my current TV queue includes Homeland, Breaking Bad, and The Walking Dead.

My iPhone's full of all kinds of music ranging from hip-hop to Celtic, though I'm partial to alternative and hard rock. My favorite live show was probably either by Tool or a little bluegrass band in the Middle-of-Nowhere, West Virginia. How's that for variety?

And I LOVE food, especially in a nice restaurant. Italian, Indian, Chinese, whatever. But I prefer the hidden gems over the chain restaurants.

A good live show on a summer's day

My laptop, a cup of joe, and a WiFi connection at a café

A soundtrack to life a la my iPhone

A well-calibrated torque wrench

My future and how things are all going to play out.

Sometimes I'm working. But if I'm not doing that, I'm hanging with friends, out riding the motorcycle, or both.

I like...country music (gasp!)

You'd like to talk and get to know each other better!
