Classics scholar (Latin and Ancient Greek) turned rogue international financier (that's an exaggeration-- I trade currencies), and literate on both sides of the divide. Born and raised here in NYC, where I was a professional child opera singer until an unfortunate voice change.

Lover of great food/wine/beer (enthusiastic chef), traveling to new places, and still exploring NYC. I'm highly inquisitive and always looking for new experiences.

I like a good, witty conversation. Let's have fun using words.

Cultural references before the year zero.
Minimizing the risk of your portfolio.
Making dinner.

I'm honest to a fault.

I like to dance. But I'm not particularly skilled... but I don't particularly care...
I used to watch a lot of very bad reality TV (think Flava of Love, Next!, etc.). Bonus points if you know who Roger Lodge is.
I enjoy a good board game.
I just tried Pinkberry, and it's very very good...

You have a good recommendation for a new restaurant or travel destination.
You like opera.
You like exploring new things.
