I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I’m a SBF, with a PhD in psychology, and a passion for technology, jazz, and sports. When I’m not working (IT), I enjoy reading, dancing (salsa, tango), films, theater-going, and quiet evenings at home. I stay fit by doing yoga and taking long walks. I enjoy kitchens, though the cooking that takes place in them is at times mysterious. I’m New Yorker, born and raised, but recently moved from LA to Durham, NC. Seeking serious friends and contacts in my new area. JCSU alumni, intellectuals and techies are welcome. Self-promoters and the just plain selfish need not apply!Get MySpace Layouts from nUCLEArcENTURy .COM OR create your own using MySpace profile editor !!!

My Interests

poetry; learning Spanish (por favor, ayudame!)

I'd like to meet:

Short term, I am looking for a restaurant buddy (or a chef!) who makes me laugh, makes me think. Long term, I am in search of a lifelong cooking partner for creative culinary times together—and all the good living that happens in between meals. In general, the guy I seek is optimistic, socially-conscious, intellectually curious, well-read, and a leader on and off the dance floor.
