I've been in Newport for over a year now. Prior to that I have lived all over the place (Philadelphia, Shanghai, Bay Area, Colorado).

I try not to take myself too seriously.

I am not the jealous or envious type (so if that is going to bother you you should probably move on), and I make a point to never complain. I have a good feel for what is bullshit and what is not and I try (sometimes unsuccessfully) not to be impressed by the former. However I am by nature extremely trusting.

I like this Susan Sontag quote: 'I don’t care about someone being intelligent; any situation between people, when they are really human with each other, produces “intelligence.”'

I take good care of myself and would appreciate meeting someone that does as well.

I've worked in the finance/investment space for most of my career. Prior to B school I worked for an angel investor/"Chinese agent of influence" in Shanghai, and I currently work in acquisitions for a Japanese corporate.

Car dancing. I'm also not a shabby cook.

My smile, my height. Presence.
