A bit about me: I'm a relaxed, introspective, humorous person; I become very animated and talkative when discussing interesting ideas; on the outside I appear much more serious than I really am; my sense of humor tends to be ironic; and I enjoy sketch comedy and satire. My hobbies include thinking, reading, skiing and biking, as well as jazz piano and French cooking.

On the goals and career front, I'm working on getting my professional engineering license. I'm not sure what I will specialize in yet, but but maybe something related to sustainable energy.

I like classical music and I go to the symphony and the opera, but I usually play jazz or rock music on the stereo or in my car. I have eclectic tastes, so I enjoy almost any live concert and I'm always interested in hearing what others enjoy.

I want to travel more and visit some European cities - I like museums and going out at night to soak up the local vibe. Some nature travel in south America or Africa would also be cool.

Coffee and a walk in the park, or drinks on a patio. It's important to have something to build up to.
