You'd think all those marketing classes I took while getting my MBA at USC would have made me a guru at selling things, however I never thought that I’d one day be advertising myself. Perhaps the easiest way to do this would be to just crib something that’s shamelessly derivative of what every other guy here wrote. Let’s see if I have the recipe down correct… start off with a few perky sounding generalities that really say absolutely nothing about me: “I just love movies, traveling and wine tasting!” Then bubble on effusively about some recent popular culture banality as if my feigned liking of it somehow defined me: “I thought Zach Braff’s performance in Garden State was totally riveting! It's my all-time favorite movie and really changed my life!" Toss in a couple of lame cliches designed to impress you gals with how strong, self-sufficient and yet sensitive I really am: “If I weren’t so busy ironing my own gym clothes, I’d have more time to adopt abandoned puppies!” And voila, you now have an Instant Internet Profile suitable to make any snap judgment from.

Okay getting serious for a moment, those pictures you see up above are fairly recent and not from 8 years or 80 lbs ago (I’m currently sans goatee). I'm a person who believes that the rules for a successful relationship are about the same as the rules for sharing a lifeboat: don’t make any sudden moves; don’t crowd the other person; remain calm & keep any thoughts of impending disaster to yourself and above all, never jump overboard even if the other person is driving you totally nuts;-) However I'll award bonus points to anyone who would also throw Dr Phil to the sharks.

I'm typically described as cute (shown), have a lean muscular body (not shown), smart (I'll soon be responding to you, won’t I?) and even though I sometimes feel like I might have a better chance surviving a hunting trip with Cheney than finding the right person online I'm willing to give this a chance, so surprise me!
