I'm witty and wise.

I don't watch television. I do watch people. I sometimes watch the blue haze during a sunrise far in the horizon.

I'm comfortable reading anything: Zen haiku, business strategy, psychology, a biography of a musician, etc. I'm an INTJ Mastermind according to MBTI. I love eating Thai food, and I like innovative 1960's jazz music late at night. I go on lengthy nature hikes into the Oregon rain.

I'm seeking someone with integrity and kind honesty. I strongly value women who have patience, emotional stability and wisdom. Negotiation skills are also important to smooth out differences.

I like jazz music, Buddhism (but most Christians find me to be compatible), intellectual conversations, doing some light nature hiking around the Columbia River Gorge, travel, art, humor, Thai food, and eating ice cream late at night.

Right now I help design disability insurance products to protect people. I really like the thrill of discovering new information and using it to create competitive advantages.

being an evil genius, not being an evil genius when the situation calls for it, competitiveness, honesty, research, creativity and strategy.

I have very dark half-Greek eyes.

Ambiguities and paradoxes, jazz rhythms, interactions between different personalities, competitive strategy, psychology and the meaning of the universe.

I'm using an online dating website.
