i'm happy, open-minded, and fun. i'm not afraid to laugh at myself (and others). i don't really take life too seriously, except for sometimes when i do. i'm an east coast transplant with an ingrained new york sensibility (i appreciate sincerity, directness, and a sardonic sense of humor), but i'm enjoying the california lifestyle. i used to think i was special until i arrived in sf, where i discovered everyone is also a gay hapa with a penchant for hoodies and sneakers. i'm addicted to travel and youtube videos.

after finishing grad school, i up and moved here for no real reason other than why not. trying to fulfill my professional ambitions. walking a lot. enjoying myself.

procrastinating. staying up late. sleeping in moving vehicles. the internetz. making out.

my stunning good looks, my captivating wit, or my irresistible charm. boom. easy. next question.
