My self-summary
Oh, not a big fan of self-summaries as they are oftentimes an exercise in subjectivity. Here are some quick thoughts though:
I've been on a long journey: Eastern Europe, to the Pacific Northwest, to New York City; electrical engineering to liberal arts to business school.
I'm comfortable with who I am, but still journeying.
I'm very affectionate with those I trust...but winning that trust isn't so easy.
I'm good at taking risks--my life history has often left me with no choice, and since grad school, I've been taking risks for a living! I might be craving a slower pace these days.
My friends are my family.
I'm friendly and funny, but you might not see the real me right away.
I can be direct and I'm not easily intimidated.
What I’m doing with my life
Recently, trying to find my calling, not just something I'm good at that pays the bills. (When paying the bills was a challenge I thought that was the point, but now that I'm beyond that I realize it's not enough.)
I’m really good at
Figuring things out: I analyze markets for a living. But the biggest puzzle seems to be human beings and I'm still contemplating that one.
Being a caring and loyal friend.
Seeing the bigger picture.
Asking questions.
The first things people usually notice about me
Not sure but probably that I'm tall.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Books: Anna Karenina is probably my all time favorite but my literary taste is pretty eclectic. It includes everything from classic fiction to non-fiction, finance to philosophy.

Movies: The Godfather, The Lives of Others, Before the Rain (Manchevski), After the Wedding, many others. I know a good film when I see one.

Shows: Mad Men, The Wire, Top of the Lake

Music: This one would take too long.

Food: I enjoy food in general but Ethiopian bread remains a challenge. Have recently contemplated possibly learning how to cook!
The six things I could never do without
Friends
Good food
Walks
Quiet time
Books
I spend a lot of time thinking about
The limitations of our conscious thought and will. How can we know something but ignore it in practice? See figuring things out/puzzles, above. This one is complicated enough to have kept me busy for a while.
On a typical Friday night I am
Out with friends at a good restaurant, movie or play.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
My profile sounds too serious.
