Roots in Seattle, but have been back and forth at least four times because I'm always drawn to New York. I've had ups and downs like everyone else, but I'm proud of my adventures. I'm kind, caring, and ambitious (and wrestling with it).

Hanging with friends, loving Brooklyn, lunching with Grandma, and working in the tech world after recovering from my finance career.

Typing. I could have been a great piano player.

I don't ask people what they first notice about me. I suppose they'd say: I smile a lot, laugh loudly, and have blue eyes.

A Visit From the Goon Squad, A Moveable Feast, Ready Player One was good fun
David Foster Wallace
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
True Romance, Annie Hall, Wes Anderson films, A River Runs Through It, the occasional romcom
Good ramen, not the cheap instant kind from the store, cheeseburgers, rich foods, and anything to satisfy my sweet tooth
Modern Family, Parks & Rec, Louie, The Wire, Schmidt on New Girl is one of my favorite tv characters in a long time
Mumford & Sons, Elbow, The Black Keys, Regina Spektor, Wilco, some bluegrass, some jazz

Soccer (play it, watch it), NYC, Frequent Flyer Number, Family, Food that is worth traveling for and taking a personal moment to enjoy.

Recipes to try, the shortest subway trips, the next movie I'm going to see, and should I wear a hat or not.

I'm on here because someone tried to set me up with a pregnant woman.

You're up for a night in as much as a night out. You don't take yourself too seriously and can laugh at yourself. You want to talk about movies and tv shows and some books. Eating a great meal is just as exciting as trying to cook one with me. If you have any remote interest in soccer whatsoever, I'll be very excited to talk at short or at length about it with you.
