I have a couple of PhD's, the second of which I obtained at the
Sorbonne, paying my way through school working as a
runway model. I worked as a professor for a few
years, but I quickly became disillusioned with
academia and decided to go to Africa, where I lived
with the Igwebuike tribe in the Ogunlye plains of
northern Nigeria for a year, negotiating a peace
treaty with a rival clan that ended centuries of
bloodshed.

OK, so none of what I just wrote is true, but did I at least get you to read this far? I do have a PhD, and there was once a guy from Nigeria on my baseball team. I've never been to Nigeria, but I have travelled all over the world and even lived in
seven different countries (spent the last two years in Egypt), which kind of gives me a
little different perspective on life here in the
U.S. I have a wonderful job that gives me a great
deal of satisfaction, and I lead an active and full
life. In my spare time, I like to go hiking and
biking and play baseball and golf, and I absolutely
love to read.

You: Please be intelligent. That's most important to
me. We can never connect if we don't understand and
respect eachother. It helps if you're educated, but
that's not an absolute necessity. You should have
some of the same interests as me, like travelling
and being active, but you should also know things I
don't. Be kind and have a sense of humor. Be unique.
Be willing to spend a lot of time getting to know
me.
