I am a student of life, fueled by a healthy appetite for knowledge, making new social circles of friends, curiosity for diverse cultures, taking risks to experience new things, and an ongoing wanderlust for world travel. I dream, I discover, I accomplish. This process has led me to awesome things as dream jobs, world travel, and good company.

At the core of my multifaceted personality is a sharp introverted thinker with an extroverted sense of exploration. I am a powerful intellectual and clever Jack-of-all-Trades, always learning in depth and variety to add to the spice of life. New situations excite me, and I enjoy the challenge of adapting to the unexpected. I’m very perceptive about people, and I love to share my knowledge as I love to learn from them.

I am a graduate student working on a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. I plan on working in a variety of areas in the field such as performing research, working in a hospital, opening my own private practice, and being a part-time professor. Before returning to Fresno for graduate school, I lived in San Diego for 10 years. I graduated from UC San Diego with bachelor degrees in Psychology and Cognitive Science. My first career went into working at Sony for 5 years as a video game designer and programmer on EverQuest titles.

I enjoy trying out many different things. Some of the things I have tried include: paragliding, snowboarding, skiing, jet skiing, water skiing, surfing, snorkeling, camping, kayaking, scuba diving, skydiving, and whitewater rafting. Some of the places I have traveled include Egypt, Costa Rica, Australia, Turkey, and all throughout Western Europe. I used to dance competitively in college in Swing and Latin dancing, and more recent, I’ve been practicing Salsa dancing. More often, I enjoy relaxing activities like having conversations with a friend over coffee or tea, going out for walks, learning guitar, playing cards or video games with friends, and trying out new places to wine and dine.

I’m open to making friends through casual dating without any pressure to form a committed relationship, and I’m also ready to switch gears to dating exclusively when I feel that I’m with the right woman. I’m an affectionate person and I’m looking for the same. Let me know if you think we might click on some level or are curious and would like to ask some questions to get to know me better. I prefer meeting over coffee or drinks before deciding on dating.
