I'm driven, goal-oriented, stable, and I'm a pretty hardcore INTJ. I know where I want to be in 20-30 years, but I'm not at all obsessive about the details. I work in international economic development, currently on projects in Mozambique and Tanzania.

A person much wiser than me said there are basically two types of people who date: testers and investors. Testers date multiple people simultaneously and pick the one they like best. Investors focus on one person at a time until it either works out or it doesn't. I tend to be an investor and would value that quality in other people.

Best friend says: I am discerning, particular, and loyal. That's good enough for me.

I've been in DC for a bit over two years now, love the city and the life I'm building here. I've been really fortunate to have lived abroad for a few years, and I get to travel for work. Ask me about it sometime.

Writing, reading critically, listening.

I'm fanatically loyal to my friends.

Eyes, wit

Movies: Indochine, The Godfather trilogy, Casino, House of Cards(with Ian Richardson), The Ruling Class, Dr. Strangelove, Latter Days

Family, friends, loyalty, duty, ambition, and good books.

In that order.

My future, how I can help the people I care most about

Spending it with friends or Netflix or both.

I am not more than 200 years behind the times.

You think virtue, honor, integrity, and decorum are not relics of a barbarous past.

Or, you can help me lighten up my profile... it's way too serious!
