About Me

I'm 6'4", 210 lbs. I look like Tom Brady, but I throw like a girl. I grew up in New Hampshire, went to school in Iowa, and now I live in Boston. I focussed all my attention on art while I was in high school, studied law as an undergrad, switched to business for my MBA, and now I'm in software. Some people would say that I am well-rounded, but I prefer to think of myself as lacking in direction. And like most pompous, arrogant people, I just want other people's approval.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anybody that can persuade me to leave the comfort of my couch and the light from my tv.
