I am a European transplant to the Bay area. After some years of work I decided to go back to school and currently get my PhD at Stanford. While I am not a nerd (not even a nerd subject) I am really passionate about my studies.

You can expect from me to ...
act like a chevalier and a gentleman
have a sense of humor (I enjoy Daily Show, Colbert Report, House MD)
enjoy activities you enjoy and if not to suck it up without whining too much
be willing to explore the world (been to 15+ countries)
like dark chocolate, cycling, walks at the ocean, movies
be interested in a long term, healthy relationship
like the Democratic party and to be interested in politics in general
surprise you with … (well, that’s the thing about surprises, but flowers and dark chocolate is probably a good guess)
be ambitious
subscribe to twice as many newspapers as I can read (I an read a lot)
challenge you
solve more problems than I create
have a good relationship to the truth

If you are attracted to the characteristics I pointed out that's a good start. Let's go for a coffee / drink and we'll see where it goes.

We could go to for a walk, get coffee, have an interesting dinner .... plenty of things.
