Raised in King of Prussia, PA (yes, the place with the mall) in a family of liberal Jews (redundant, I know) who instilled in me a love of the arts, an off-beat sense of humor (mom’s a die-hard Howard Stern fan – no joke), and an appreciation for a terrific meal, which, as my brothers will attest, generally was cooked far away from my parents' kitchen. I'm passionate about the arts – there's nothing more exciting than discovering that fantastic live band that's just about to break, or that little indie movie that you can't stop thinking about a week after you saw it. Love to draw, to read (occasionally books without pictures, even), to train at the local boxing gym, and to command the stage at a karaoke bar. Career-wise my life has had more direction than most – film school at NYU, nine years of working as an assistant editor on a ton of movies that offended my grandma before moving up to full-fledged editor on big-budget action flicks. Relationship-wise, the road's been a bit bumpier, but over the course of the past few years I've gotten a pretty good handle on what I'm looking for. I'm enjoying my life, and I’m ready to find someone with whom to share it. All I have to do now is find her profile…

In November of 2011, I landed my dream job, cutting a movie in a genre I've always loved for one of my all-time favorite filmmakers. In early December 2012 (who knows when I'll get around to updating this, right?) I finally finished, so now it's time to reclaim my life...

evaluating my friends' relationships. If only I could turn that skill back on myself, right?

It's a toss-up: either my full head of curly dark hair (hairstylists all tell me women would love to have my hair, which I think is a compliment...) or my permanent smile.

I'm assuming that oxygen and sex are givens, right? Therefore:

1. Satellite navigation system (for a guy with no sense of direction, this is the greatest piece of technology ever invented)
2. iPhone (2nd greatest)
3. The funny pages, especially if they run the classic Calvin & Hobbes and FoxTrot strips
4. Vito's pizza (how many times will I mention this place here? keep reading)
5. Sunday night tv shows
6. Diet sodas (I'm pretty sure my blood is carbonated at this point)

how kids going through puberty today are able to accomplish anything when they've got access to internet porn.

scarfing down a slice (or three) with the crew of regulars at Vito's.
Please don't tell the rabbi.

I've seen every episode of Dawson's Creek.

your profile does not contain the following statement:
"I'm just as comfortable getting dressed up and going out for a night on the town as I am staying in and watching a movie in my sweats."

That omission, combined with a basic understanding of proper grammar, provides a solid foundation for any successful relationship.
