I am here for Dating, Friends and Networking

About Me

Welcome friends old and new -- I am here to keep in touch with old friends and make public a few of my interests to perhaps make new friends and network with people of similar interests.I am into adventure trips (so that is anything on some sort of boat, in the jungle) or anywhere new and interesting. I worked in the Peace Corps in the Dominican Republic (dimelo DR!) and then I did my Masters at Yale in environmental management. I came to the LA area for my current position at a local company promoting sustainability (environmental and social performance). I am interested in anything from Latin America (food, music, travel, and my work).I swam and played waterpolo (NCAA) and at this point I prefer day sports over the nightlife scene. My preference being anything near the water - canoes, swimming, skiiing, snorkeling, scuba, and my new hobby - Sailing!
