I'm intelligent, straightforward, patient, intellectually curious, open minded, and honest. I like to dance, hang out with friends and meet new people. I like being around lots of people a few nights a week; but after a while I need some quiet time. I enjoy competitive games, learning, teaching, witty banter, and physical challenges. I'm happiest after a vigorous workout, after helping a stranger, while hugging someone I love, or when I'm engaged in ground-breaking and thoughtful discussions. My interests are diverse, but I'm never really that interested in material things like cars or bling. My focus is on enjoying new experiences, great ideas and sharing them with amazing people.

I grew up in Baltimore. My family members are awesome; I appreciate them more and more every day. I share my house with a friend from high school, her girlfriend, and their two dogs.

For the past few years I've worked as an engineer. It's okay and getting better, but it's not as engaging as I'd like it to be. So after the hospitals have been designed, and the most recent crisis is averted, I work on a side project that could be big breakthrough for the company. I just started collaborating with my dad on something that would be a much larger breakthrough. I'm a big-idea kind of guy.

Relationship-wise, I like to keep things simple and sweet. I'm very physically affectionate and I need someone who is too. It would be nice to find someone who is empathetic, social, idealistic and has good judgment. Women who consider themselves a bit quirky are encouraged to apply. Bonus points for entrepreneurs, teachers, orthopedists, and those with a silly streak.

At this point in my life I'm very focused on finding my match, but I don't mind meeting new friends either. If you think I'm interesting please send me a message.

After coming up with the majority of this profile, I took a free Myers-Briggs test online from the human metrics site. I am an INTP (slightly I, moderately N, strongly T, moderately P). `The INTP personality profiles have been amazingly accurate. (They say ENFJ, ENTJ, INFJ, and ESTJ would match well with me.)

In the process of filling this out... I just copied my profile over from another site...

Music: Depends on my mood. Small venues over live shows. Rock you can dance too. Most any music to dance to. Soul (Oldies kind, not slow jams). Live jazz not prerecorded. Blues (especially keb mo). On the radio I enjoy the music programs "Sounds Eclectic", and Afropop World Wide. Listen to DC101, WTMD, WRNR.

Best bands to see live: Ben Lee, The Actual Tigers, Juno Reactor, Ani Defranco, Rage Against the Machine, Foo Fighters, Motley Crew, Better than Ezra, Busta-Rhymes (not recently though), Moby (not recently), Lots of local bands.
