I grew up in San Diego, moving farther away from the beach with the arrival of each successive sister (I have four), until finally settling about 12 miles inland. While I occasionally miss the beach and sun (more so in the gross NYC summers than in the winter), and the world's best Mexican food, I am definitely an east coast guy at heart and I love living in NYC.

I like to keep active. I try to run 10-25 miles a week, but it doesn’t always happen. I recently got into cycling, and have already biked every bridge in/out of Manhattan at least once. I also enjoy tennis and love skiing, but don’t get to do either nearly often enough. Some of my favorite cities include Hong Kong (I studied abroad there), Jerusalem (I volunteered on an ambulance there), and Queenstown (I skied in the morning and jet boated in the afternoon, pretty awesome…). My next big trip will hopefully be to Morocco or skiing in Chile.

I am passionate about Israel and am politically active. I love to learn and am particularly interested in (in no particular order) travel, foreign languages, cooking, politics, and anything real estate/architecture related.

I don’t have much interest in professional sports. I don’t do cats, but I grew up with a Great Dane and I love dogs, especially big ones.

I work as in-house counsel at a real estate development company, doing real estate deals between Philly and Boston. In my free time, I like to go for long runs along the Hudson, ride my bike all over the city (and sometimes into NJ), try new restaurants, and go to charity events.

Making tuna steaks, finding my way around cities I am unfamiliar with, learning languages, driving stick, and procrastinating.

Books: I read a lot of biographies. The next book on my list is The Prime Ministers.

Movies: The Big Lebowski, Dumb and Dumber, Animal House, Goodfellas, My Cousin Vinny, Ferris Bueller's Day Off (this had a major impact on my life...), Rocky, The Fugitive, basically any decent comedy or action movie.

Shows: Seinfeld, Arrested Development (my grandma has the same personality, looks and dresses like, and even had the same car as Lucille), Ali G, All in the Family, The Cosby Show.

Music: I listen to pretty much everything, but if I had to pick a favorite genre, it would probably be classic rock. I also listen to a lot of Spanish and Hebrew music.

Food: Persian and Japanese are my favorites. I try to eat pretty healthy and I appreciate quality produce, especially avocados.

Probably at shabbat dinner with some combination of friends, sisters, and cousins.

You are a cute Jewish girl with a big heart, don't take yourself too seriously, are hardworking, adventurous, and have a good sense of humor. You are looking for a nice Jewish guy with similar qualities and values.
