What to say. I did MIT undergrad, did the quant thing on Wall Street for a few years, and now I'm back in grad school for a Ph.D. So that happened.

I am passionate about a few things: math and the Red Sox being two of them. I am known to partake in debates of the political or scientific sort from time to time. In that vein, I am also known to be sarcastic. I enjoy playing sports, particularly baseball. Recently, I've been hitting up the gym 2-3 times a week. Last year, I played on my department's intramural volleyball team, Set Theory, and last semester I captained our other men's team, Net Convergence, to an undefeated record. Good Times.

I don't mind the occasional bar hop, I'm always up for a Sam Adams (or Guinness). Back in Cambridge, I completed the 133 beer long beer list (over 6 months, I'm not that much of a lush) at Bukowski Tavern, which was definitely a learning experience. This has left me to be somewhat of a beer snob I s'pose. I also went on a wine vineyard tour this past January, which was similarly educational. Apparently, I have an affinity for malbecs and cabernets. So really, I'm an intellectual boozer.

I tend to be fairly open-minded (I am a denizen of the internet era), and consider myself a left-leaning moderate.

I worked on Wall Street as a quant for a while. I may go back, but only after I complete a graduate degree and am in a solid relationship. Scientific research is another interesting possibility. Currently, I'm enrolled in a Ph. D. program in Applied Mathematics so that helps.

Math, baseball, massages, and apparently mojitos.

I suppose I'm kinda tall, not really though. I'm rather Irish; my grandparents are from Ireland. Maybe that's it. Admittedly, I am lacking the Bostonian accent, or any accent for that matter.

Books: I'll admit, most of my reading is done online, and is of the non-fiction variety. I like to keep abreast of what's happening in the world. I do have a few math / academic textbooks though ...

TV: House, Boston Legal, Firefly (we hardly knew ye), Scrubs, Venture Brothers, The Simpsons before they started sucking, Big Bang Theory, Archer, Law & Order

Movies: many, but a short list includes Goonies, The Usual Suspects, Office Space, The Sandlot, The Shining, The Big Lebowski (the dude abides), The Godfather

My taste in music is eclectic: I enjoy classical, techno, U2, whatever sounds good. I also tend to enjoy partaking in the singing at Red Sox games, though that's probably more attributable to the Sox than the music itself.

The gym, computers(and all its internets), math, Wikipedia, my friends, and the Red Sox (and baseball in general).

whatever comes to mind. Given my current role as grad student, I've math and physics are likely. Wikipedia is a very good thing, though far too often I find myself meandering from one link to the next randomly.

I guess recently I've been working out or hitting up a bar with fellow grad students. You're welcome to join me.
