I am very passionate about my career, but it is equally important to me to have a good time outside of work.

I strive to stay active and healthy, but prefer doing something outside over going to the gym. That's why I do a lot of running, hiking, backpacking, kayaking, and biking.

I am always eager to try new things, be it a new restaurant or a new sport. This past winter I took up skiing and snowshoeing. This past summer I took up windsurfing.

Friends and family are extremely important to me. And I have the best of both I could ever ask for.

I believe openness and honesty are vital to any relationship, whether it is with coworkers, friends, or a significant other.

Looks aren't the only thing that matters, but it certainly counts. I am looking for a woman that is passionate about her career and enjoys being active. She should enjoy getting dressed up for a fancy dinner, but also shouldn't mind roughing it for a couple days of backpacking in the mountains. She should also enjoy discussing politics, social issues, and current events. If you think that could be you, feel free to message me!

Designing airplanes

Maybe my eyes?

I have a VERY random taste in music. Some favorite artists/bands that come to mind are Nirvana, Audioslave, The Killers, and Deadmou5.

The three most recent books I read were: Outliers, Airbus vs. Boeing, and Wired for War. I think my favorite two books are Kite Runner and the Alchemist.

Some of my favorite movies include: Crash, Gran Torino, Zombieland, Hotel Rwanda, Shawshank Redemption, Blood Diamond, Blow, Traffic, Run Lola Run, and Top Gun. I also enjoy watching documentaries, especially with friends and good food around.

Favorite foods: thai, seafood, steak, sushi, BBQ

Favorite drinks: IPA, Hef, Gin and Tonic, Sazerac.

In no particular order:
- Running shoes/hiking boots
- Local beer
- Good food
- Friends
- Family
- Passport

The next place I should travel to. Any suggestions?

One of two things:
1. Out with my friends: at a bar, at a movie theater, or a club.
2. Going to bed early to be able to wake up early for skiing, hiking, snowshoeing etc.

I have tried those things in combination, but going hiking or skiing hung-over and on little sleep from the night before was so unenjoyable that I now choose to avoid the combination.
