Grew up in Northern California. Moved to SoCal to go to college and stuck around for law school and beyond. I'm down to earth, have my life together, and I'm easy to get along with.

Generally being awesome. More specifically, during the day I work with local businesses and city government to make Santa Monica a better community to live/work in. At night, I fight crime. And by fight crime I mean eat out and have drinks with friends.

Making up words and getting people to unconsciously start staying them, finding great pinot noirs, predicting movie plots, learning complex topics quickly, running long distances, being a good listener, getting rid of clutter, and reading minds.

I'm tall. I smile a lot. I look a little like Ryan Reynolds on a good day.

TV: Modern Family, the Office, Parks & Recreation, Arrested Development, How I Met Your Mother, Dexter, Breaking Bad, Homeland, Downton Abbey.

Food: Sushi, Mexican & Italian are my three favorites. I love good deli food too.

(1) Family/Friends
(2) iPhone/internet
(3) Running shoes
(4) The beach
(5) A good book
(6) My passport

Here are a few that just barely missed the top 6:

(1) My leopard-print snuggie
(2) My BluBlocker sunglasses
(3) My Chia Pet

And the final one (for good measure). The thing I COULD do without:

(1) Kim Kardashian - seriously, what is she famous for again?

What iPhone 31 will look like, what Bill Murray whispered at the end of Lost in Translation, how long it will be before I can time travel, whatever happened to the game mine sweeper, how long it would take my company to notice if I outsourced my job functions to virtual assistants in India, where the line between wine connoisseur and snob lies, and how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop.

doing the same thing I do every night....trying to take over the world. Or maybe breaking out my MC Hammer pants and having a dance party.

This reminds me of the interview question where the interviewer asks you to list "a weakness". But everyone knows instead of a weakness, you just tell them about another strength :)

Ok - here it is. I'm "lactarded". I don't eat much dairy. Actually, I told my 5 year old cousin I was lactose intolerant and she told me life might not be worth living anymore if I couldn't eat ice cream. It was both adorable and devastating at the same time. Lucky for me, Whole Foods has some amazing Coconut and Soy ice cream options.

you're smart and nice. Seriously. That's it. No laundry list.

Well.....it doesn't hurt if our match percentage is above 80%. And come to think of it, if our ENEMY percentage is above 80%, I DEFINITELY want to meet you - maybe opposites really do attract.

And yes, please message me if it wasn't lost on you that most people fill their profiles with contradictory cliches. For example, I love going out but also staying in. I like being healthy but love pigging out on junk food. I'm really active but love lounging around and doing nothing. Seriously people???

Or message me if you actually read my whole profile. I'll send you a certificate of completion you can display on your wall.
