Hi! So where to start...hmm. I grew up in the area but after graduating high school, I headed to Texas for college and then spent a few years living in North Carolina afterwards.

I was an engineering major, then went into the military, and now I'm doing the whole finance thing. I guess that means I have a short attention span...or maybe I just can't hold down a job?

Wondering why I let that woman at the store talk me into buying a pair of white skinny jeans for the summer...oh wait, you mean with my life in general? Hmm.

I'm a pretty active runner and try to knock out a marathon every year. I joined the Crossfit cult, so I can now spend the first date talking about how awesome it is. This summer I'm learning how to surf...I figured this would automatically up my coolness factor, and it'd help prepare me for my trip to Australia and Bali (yeah that's right, I just location dropped).

...and yes, I work in finance like every other guy who emailed you tonight...but, I think I'll be joining the internet start-up world soon (where I can wear these skinny jeans to work)!

Getting things off of high shelves, opening jars, and lifting heavy boxes. Is that enough to convince you to go out with me??

Okay, maybe not...how about I can eat a lot (therefore no leftovers) and my crow pose is looking pretty solid.

I'm usually sporting a terrible haircut...

My friend once described me as a "food culinarian" (so much better sounding than foodie), so asking for my favorite food is a loaded question. But you can never go wrong with good pizza, burgers, or steaks. Or free food...

Books, hmm, I just finished reading Born to Run and Proof of Heaven, any suggestions for the next book?

My running shoes, Texas sports, pizza, my dog, a nicely pressed button down shirt, and my obscenely large headphones.

Should I get off of the local train and wait for the express? I never win this game...

How it seems like all of my friends and former classmates are miserable at their jobs, yet everyone here loves theirs? Do I just surround myself with debbie downers?

You know, crushing the NY online dating scene, isn't that what everyone else is doing?

I used to steal other people's leftovers in the house I lived in during college...yeah I was (or maybe still am) that guy...

You really enjoy listening to dry self-deprecating humor? Or if you're trying to kick the habit of drinking by yourself at the bar...
