I have a creative side and appreciate the same in a partner. I believe in always improving myself both physically and intellectually (always love learning something new.) I also love meeting new and interesting people. Bonus points for someone who shares my interests and passion for travel.

Presently working as a software engineer, but I'm also a real fan of film and literature.

Physical fitness is a passion of mine especially weight-lifting, swimming and running. I'm very driven to meet goals and I never give up. I'm excellent with technology.

My youthful outlook and energy.

I love the classics especially supernatural literature and early 20th-century pulps since early youth. Favourite authors: Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stoker, Emily Bronte, Mary Shelley, J.S. Le Fanu, Shakespeare, M.R. James, William Hope Hodgson, Robert E. Howard, H.P. Lovecraft, Nigel Kneale, Frank Herbert.

Favourite directors: Alfred Hitchcock, Ridley Scott, David Fincher, Tim Burton, Guillermo del Toro, Mario Bava, Dan Curtis, John Carpenter, Quentin Tarantino, David Lynch, Fritz Lang, Stanley Kubrick.

Favourite artists: H.R. Giger, Beksiński, Salvador Dali. I like visionary and oneiric art.

I'm into architecture, art, museums and ruins.

I really enjoy electronic, experimental and post-punk music. Joy Division, The Velvet Underground and Ladytron rank high in my estimation.

I'm big on seafood particularly sushi.
