I am generally an upbeat person and am fairly happy and content with my life so far. I grew up in several different places across the globe and think of myself as fairly accepting and diverse.

I moved to Kansas City from California last year and am kind of new at this online dating thing. I work as a research fellow and for the last year or so have been mostly focused on my work and tying up things from my previous job. I just decided to give this a whirl and see how it goes. If nothing else, I guess I will make some new friends.

I am very very extroverted. That is usually the first thing people notice about me. Oh and I tend to smile a lot.

I like most works of fiction with happy endings and crisp writing. I like most science-based non-fiction as well. I am a big fan of Disney animation and working towards building a collection of my childhood favorites. Currently I am addicted to Criminal Minds, NCIS and the Big Bang Theory. My favorite cuisines are Chinese and Thai.

family and friends, work, internet , comfy shoes, space heaters and a good cup of coffee.

hanging out with friends over a meal or coffee.

Why would I put this on an online website?
