Philadelphia born and raised (actually downtown Philly, unlike everyone else who says they're from Philly and means the Main Line or King of Prussia). Been out in Chicago for 7 years now. Graduated from UChicago, currently on two year vacation (AKA MBA), before returning to working for The Man. I think that pretty much covers it.

I also love travel, been to almost 30 countries. Travel slowed down a bit while I was working but planning to hit up a bunch more over the next few years

Some school, significant amount of fun. Gotta enjoy the 2-year break from the real world...

Food: I eat pretty much everything, but am particularly passionate about steak, Indian and Mexican... Favorite restaurants in the city include Quartino, Xoco and everywhere with a good filet

Reading: The Economist, books for school, random fantasy/sci-fi

Music: Random. Everything from Bach to Sinatra to Beatles to 80s to Top 40.

Movies: Pretty much anything but horror movies. Favorites include a bunch of oldies (Casablanca, Dr. Zhivago, the original Manchurian Candidate with Sinatra) some more recent classics (Trading Places, When Harry Met Sally, Star Wars) and plenty of recent movies (Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump, and, have to admit, Shrek and Toy Story too)

TV: Currently following The League, Mad Men and Modern Family, plus the odd Seinfeld or How I Met Your Mother when there isn't anything else on. Old favorites include most HBO shows and Arrested Development

When I was 2 I stuck a Cheerio up my nose. Pretty exciting stuff.
