Here's a good song you can listen to while you're reading this
drivel. No, there's no symbolism or deeper meaning, it's just a
good song that I'm liking at the moment.

Now, it seems to me that so many of these profiles are written by a marketing agency, but then again, how could I possibly answer this without being completely self-serving? I thought it would be interesting to ask a couple of friends and ex-girlfriends to collaborate on this section, but then thought better of it. Mostly because of my friends. So, expounding upon the "My Details" section at the right...
Half Somali, half English/Welsh/Dutch/Isrealite. Father was Muslim, mother was Jewish, so I grew up a bit confused. They were both 5'7" but somehow I ended up 6'1" and still measure myself weekly against the door frame in hopes that it'll show 6'4". Soccer keeps me relatively fit and the pounds from piling up.
I love to eat. If you don't like pork products it's not exactly a deal breaker, but you have a big hole to climb out from. I'd describe myself as a non-smoker, but there are rare situations that just call for a cigarette. If that makes no sense to you, count yourself lucky. Drinks, on the other hand... I think Madame Bollinger put it best. Drugs would be the rare occasions where it looks like a cigarette, but isn't.
I have an open mind, but I can only open it so far before it feels like my brain is falling out. I was born in mid-July, and apparently that makes me a Cancer which means all kinds of things about my personality that are no more accurate than of any other sign.
I was good at math and science in high school, and boy were my parents proud. So, I slogged (it's the only term that fits) through an engineering PhD program, and managed to come out the other side just a bit nerdy, but in all the good ways. Well, I dig Star Trek, but that was established much earlier.
I'm a disposable lighter repairman. Don't laugh, it's a growth industry. Co-founding a tech start-up with good friends has spoiled me, but we got acquired, and now it's less than amazing. Sometime soon, I'll leave my current position and will likely be without income for a time while I start something new.
I like kids, and they seem to like me. Animals like me too. I'm very gentle and affectionate. I love cats, and tolerate dogs.
I'd like to believe that I speak the Queen's own English, as my father was an English literature professor, but it's best described as broken.
I travel as much as is possible, without burning myself out. Day trips to eat oysters in Tomales Bay, weekend trips in the tri-state area, weeks in places that sound amazing.
