I have traveled the globe and crave more. I am always looking forward to the next great adventure. Whether its a weekend trip to the mountains or thinking about riding the Trans - Siberian railroad or trekking in Nepal - I want and love new stimulating experiences. I was raised in Western Pennsylvania and went south for college and northeast for graduate school. But like many natives I could not resist the lure of da'burgh and so I returned. As I spend more time here I appreciate how amazing Pittsburgh really is.

I try to live a value-based life and without regrets. As Sinatra would say "Regrets - I've had a few; but then again too few to mention." I believe every man should have a code and principles that he lives by. Age and maturity have taught me that pursuing the middle way is the proper path for me. "Everything in moderation" - cliched, I know. But, then of course, even moderation needs moderation. Complete balance is perfection and perfect balance is impossible. But it is something I strive towards and have fun with. I am as comfortable at a black tie event mingling and dancing as I am at local bar slugging back a couple of brews and watching the game. I find myself at ease going out and socializing with friends, finding a new restaurant or chilling out on the couch and watching a funny, thrilling or well-crafted flick.

I am divorced - about 2 years and change. My ex-wife and I are amicable so no drama. I do share a beautiful 4.5 year old girl who is the center of my universe right now. I have done a lot of work on myself and experienced a tremendous amount of growth - painful but all good. I have been in one serious relationship post divorce. She was really amazing but long.distance.sucks. I live a pretty busy and fulfilling life so I'm really looking for someone to enhance my life.

I am physically active and like to keep fit. I want someone who has a good energy level and likes to exercise and move their body. You don't have to be super athletic or thin but taking care of yourself is sexy. I swim, run, bike, hike, play hockey, practice tai chi and yoga. I love anything outdoors. Let's put it this way - I exercise so that I can eat!

I want someone who is intelligent, kind, generous, loyal, has a good sense of humor and is positive. I know what I want and recognize whether or not I want to pursue something within a date or two. I have a knack for sensing people's energy and I have been told by my exs that I am a great listener and I have amazing hands. Physical attraction and chemistry is a must but I want to connect with your mind before things can get physical. The mind connection is superbly important. Intelligent, stimulating and witty conversation is huge turn on. Could it be you?

After starting a successful private practice and being the staff acupuncturist in a hospital based practice, I am turning my attention to something larger and greater. This urge seems to happen every 7-8 years or so; I feel like my career needs to evolve and I need to grow. I am deeply grateful that I am passionate about what I do and I have ambitions of serving an even larger population. I want to join the growing movement of community acupuncturists. I want to break down the walls of class and have acupuncture accessible to and affordable for anyone who wants it. It is not, however, charity but a sustainable community based business model. It serves large numbers of patients for an affordable fee. It's working all over the country and the clinic numbers are growing rapidly. It is very inspiring.

food: I.love.food. All kinds - esp. if it is done well. Fresh, local - slow food is best. I really love all kinds of noodle dishes and noodle soups like pho and Taiwanese noodle soup; hot and spicy foods, savory foods, Indian, Thai, Ethiopian, Chinese, good sushi; currently I am a quest to find the best slice in the city and always, always enjoy a good burger.

How to improve myself.
How to minimize distractions.
When am I going to play hockey regularly again?
Is there going to be a hockey season this year?!?! Argh!

Usually out with friends, eating, cooking, listening to live music or on occasion playing hockey. If its a weekend with my daughter I'll be home watching a movie or writing so I am rested for the weekend for her.

I almost failed out of college freshman year. Bad Asian boy.

If you are someone who likes to laugh, eat and be adventurous.
