No idea where to begin, so here goes:

- I grew up in Southern California and love the beach, but have only ever surfed outside of California.
- I played soccer in college, but am a nerd at heart.
- I managed to make it to age thirty only having spent one year in the work world—along the way, I racked up a litany of letters (MD, MBA, MSc), amazing friends and thankfully no debt
- I love anything that involves being active: I’ve climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, hiked Mt. Whitney and run the London Marathon
- On the rare occasion that I can’t find something to smile/laugh at during the day, I’ll pop-in Wedding Crashers...no day should end without a smile on your face!
- I make it a priority to speak on the phone with my parents and younger brother daily.
- My Christian faith has been a driving force in my life
- I hold doors open...for everyone
- Drink of choice: mojitos; Late-night food: pepperoni pizza with lots of crushed red pepper
- My perfect SF weekend involves some combination of a run across the GG bridge, Napa wine tasting and checking out a new restaurant in the city
- I grew up a UCLA fan, but switched allegiances to USC after both my brother and I went there for college

- I decided not to practice medicine, and chose to work in private equity (investing) instead. It was the hardest decision of my life to leave medicine, but I love my job and the people I work with

- Making coke slushies at work
- Playing just about any sport; but I have zero musical talent
- "Solving" Rubic’s cube...by peeling off the stickers and pasting them back in correct position
- Reciting the words to "Ice Ice Baby"
- Running stadiums
- Teaching you how to Dougie
- Eating anything and everything , though I can't cook...but I'm trying to learn!

My smile...and that I am always laughing.

TV: Suits, The Office, The League, SportsCenter, Archer…and any show that reminds me of LA
Reading: Economist, WSJ, Biographies, The Namesake, Complications
Music: Hip-hop, Rock, Alternative...depends on the day
Food: Anything and everything. Bonus points if it's spicy.
Movies: Wedding Crashers, Old School, Shawshank Redemption, Top Gun, Slumdog Millionaire, Pixar movies (should have probably put this last one in the embarassing facts section below)

1. Family
2. Faith
3. Friends
4. Ambition
5. Optimism
6. Balance of mind & body

- what to eat next (my body still thinks I'm playing soccer 4 hours a day)
- where to travel
- how I can have impact on the world around me

Hanging out at happy hour or dinner with friends and hopefully meeting new people.

- I'm a total ham at weddings. I LOVE giving wedding toasts; I'd give them for strangers if that wasn't weird. Handing me a mic is about the only thing you can do to pry me off the dance floor or out of the photobooth.

- you love meeting new people
- you're funny, confident, and smart
- you like to be active and don't take yourself too seriously
