I have rewritten at least part of this thing about a dozen times now...which is maybe my private thing to confess...and I'm blowing it here. Oh well!

Born in Queens, raised primarily in Long Island, school in Boston, now living in Brooklyn, but travelling a lot for work.

I am an excellent listener.

I am an excellent talker.

I am extremely open about who I am, what I believe, and what I want.

I took one philosophy course in college. It was my favorite.

My second favorite was in clowning.

I equally value critical thinking and humor. And nothing impresses me more than someone that oscillates easily between the two.

I can find the funny in anything, or at least I try.

I spent NYE 2012/13 playing with light up swords and starting public dance circles. Completely sober. It was amazing.

Writer, producer, actor.

In 2009 I ran a cabin at a camp for children with life-threatening and critical illness. There I learned the importance of maintaining composure & rational thinking no matter what, especially as a leader. I think I learned that lesson well.

I'm 6'3".
I maintain eye contact during conversations.
I speak from the heart. (sounds corny, but, I do)

Books: Pillars of the Earth; Dry; Running with Scissors; Blink; Good to Great.

I don't listen to much music. And according to almost every other 20-something, I'm on my own here. I enjoy hip-hop & singer-song writer types, but my audio consumption for the last 7-8 years has been consumed by stand-up albums and podcasts.

Comfortable places to sit

Greatness.
Where all the socks go.
The influence I want to have.
How to get to bed earlier.

The next tweet.

Speeches I'd like to give.
The interesting people I've recently met.
Business ventures.

These days, good question. If not home or working, probably watching basketball at home. When I go out, it tends to be more on "off" nights.

The first time I watched The Notebook, I wept for the last 45 minutes straight.

This past Christmas Day, with Les Miz, the ENTIRE movie.

Just know that going in :).

You're a busy, independent-minded person that likes to laugh as much as she likes to speak in depth about any variety of subjects.

You can listen, empathize, challenge, share.

You really, really like to laugh :). (I know I said laugh already. I'm saying it more. It's important to me!)
