Michigan made the Tourney! No, not that tourney.... The NIT!!!!!

About Me

I'm pretty serious at work and tend to be the exact opposite once I leave and am trying to unwind. Conversations with my friends are always filled with jokes and laughter and usually don't get too serious; even if we are talking about something important we find a way to throw jokes in to keep it light. I guess that would make me a goofball with a serious side.
I work in the IB industry for a software company in midtown. It a great job that has rewarded me with more responsibility for all the late nights. My coworkers are some of my best friends and I am out with them after work several times a week.
I'm a pretty good cook (for a guy). Favorite food is BBQ and Sushi... hate Thai food, but love Pad Thai (i think its the coconut milk...but I like coconuts!) go figure.
Got my degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Michigan. Still debating on the MBA... but I'll probably go back once I psyche myself up for homework every night again.
I'm lucky enough to be from Florida so I tend to fly down a few times a year. While there I tend to spend all my time on Clearwater beach. Usually trying to find people to play beach volleyball with.

My Interests

Volleyball, Michigan Football, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Clearwater Beach, Faluka Lounge, Billiards, Beer

I'd like to meet:

Presidents, sports stars, The Rock, Howard Stern, my Grand Pa

Movies:

This seems to be true of all my friends as well, but I haven't been to the movies in forever! Not that I wouldn' go :-)

Television:

I love trash TV, as it can be a great stress reliever. OC, Sapronos, Lost, 24, Weeds are also some of my favorites.

I'm also a news junky and love talking about current events. I am a Republican, but I'm fairly moderate on social issues. Makes life in NYC a little tough sometimes ;-)

Books:

All-Time Favs: Clear & Present Danger, Running Man, Snow Wolf.Last read: Carl Hiaasen's 'Basket Case': has a wack-job reporter investigating the murder of a B-List 80s hairband rocker; very funny.Current Read: 'In the Lake of the Woods' by Tim O'Brien. Politician loses in a landslide due to a secret that came out during the campaign. A week later his wife is missing. Why did he lose? Where's the wife? Read the book! :-p

Heroes:

Can't rely on heroes... I rely on me :-)
