I'm from the city originally and just moved back after finishing business school. I work at a start-up and also manage a non-profit I founded called Nuru Project that sells photography to raise funds for social causes.

Before that I spent the past few years working in finance and backpacking randomly for a little over a year through Asia and Africa -- diving with whale sharks in Mozambique, getting beat up by Russian cops, bribing guards to sleep overnight on the Great Wall, getting drenched in city-wide water fights during New Years celebrations in Burma.

Some of my favorite things are travel without itineraries, outdoor beers, sweaty dance parties, the loose swagger of the stones' exile on main st., live music, everything to do with australia but mostly the people and the toast "cheers big ears," a good bass line, hot sauce, documentary photography, the last waltz, silliness, sleep, and the giddy anticipation of a distant but approaching skyline viewed from a car.

Not bragging about myself. I'm OK at a lot of things.

Go for it...
