I moved from San Diego to the Bay Area last year to take a great job opportunity in Palo Alto. Currently living in San Jose, but moving to SF in April. For my partner, most important to me is to meet and be with someone that I can have fun with and respect – someone with an appreciation for the ironic in life; who’s attractive, open minded, spontaneous, cultured, unusual, irreverent, spunky and smart. Someone who can laugh at herself, is secure, trusting, a bit mysterious, uncommon, imaginative and passionate and sexy. Someone who keeps herself fit.

I’m a sensualist - I want to savor all of life around me. I love art and design and music and just about anyone and anything that creatively follows a different path from the norm. That said, I’m pretty down to earth and stable.
I can be wry, outgoing, confident, loyal, a social butterfly, a romantic and a shy geek sometimes. I am also sweet, sexy, considerate, polite, caring, loving and supportive. I'm also pretty focused on my future - career and relationships and new life up here. I also have a dry sense of humor - product of growing up in England.

I was born in New York, grew up in the East Coast, Midwest, California and London. I've got a stable family background and I’ve been fortunate enough to travel through Europe, Africa and Asia. I'm divorced, but get along well with my ex who would give me a good reference :) and remain friends. I’m a bit sarcastic and cynical, independent, ambitious, driven, honest, chivalrous and hopefully interesting and exciting to you!

I am currently working for an amazing Industrial Design and innovative mechanical engineering company. I mostly work on designing medical and consumer products. I'm managing the development of a large medical system for a startup currently.

Not filling out my essay apparently, I'm working on this...
